La Bichota, the one who's in charge
Bichota is Puerto Rican street slang for a big shot, and a 2020 reggaeton hit turned it into a word for a woman who runs her own life.

Fruit first, and a French liqueur
St-Germain is an elderflower liqueur from France, launched in 2007, and bartenders took to it so fast that Adweek reported on its nickname: bartender's ketchup. It's floral and sweet, which suits watermelon and strawberry.
Fruit and a floral liqueur put this at the soft end of a margarita list. People who say they don't like tequila often like drinks built this way, and that's the catch: you stop noticing the tequila.
Vozul tequila, watermelon, strawberry and St-Germain. The menu doesn't list lime, so expect fruit more than sour.
