Lakeside Citrus Splash

This refreshing cocktail, Lakeside Citrus Splash, is named after the Mexican lake, Chapala. It combines the zesty flavors of tequila, orange juice, and fresh lemon juice, balanced with a hint of sweetness from grenadine and triple sec. The name Chapala supposedly means "the place where crickets lay over the water," and while there are no crickets in this drink, it's a delightful concoction perfect for enjoying by the lakeside or any summer gathering.
