Coin Toss
About
The Coin Toss cocktail is designed to start things right. Clean, balanced, and easygoing, it’s the kind of drink you pour at kickoff before the game gets loud and the decisions get questionable. Teremana Reposado brings gentle oak and agave warmth, while fresh watermelon juice adds natural sweetness and hydration without turning the drink heavy. A touch of agave syrup rounds everything out, keeping the flavors smooth and controlled.
This isn’t a flashy cocktail. It’s calm, confident, and steady - exactly what you want in your first drink of the game. Served over rocks in a simple glass, Coin Toss sets the tone without stealing attention. Refreshing, grounded, and built to ease you into the action.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Watermelon juice benefits from a quick shake to fully integrate with the tequila and agave before serving over ice.

Tasting Notes
The Barsys Edge
Fresh-juice cocktails live or die by balance. Barsys keeps the tequila, fruit, and agave in check so the drink stays refreshing instead of watery or sweet. Same clean opener, every single time.
Sip Setting
Best enjoyed right before kickoff, during pre-game chatter, or as the first pour before the pace picks up.
Garnish Game
A lime wheel adds aroma and a hint of citrus brightness without distracting from the watermelon. Clean, minimal, intentional.
