Easy Watermelon Cocktail
Easy Watermelon Cocktail - a simple and refreshing watermelon cocktail recipe that is perfect for a hot summer day!!
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon you will want to get the juiciest, most ripe one you can find so that the juice is full bodied
- 2-3 fresh mint leaves
- juice of 1 lime
- 4 teaspoons honey more to taste
- 2-3 oz vodka more or less, as desired
- 1 tablespoon club soda or more*
Instructions
- Roughly chop up 2-3 cups of watermelon meat; try to remove as many seeds as possible.
- Add to blender along with 2-3 mint leaves, lime juice, honey and vodka.
- Blend until fully liquid.
- Taste and, if you want it to be sweeter, add a little bit of honey at a time until you have reached your desired sweetness.
- Strain the watermelon mixture - this will ensure the consistency is smooth.
- Take cocktail glass and add 3 cubes of watermelon (about 1x1 inch) as well as several ice cubes.
- Pour watermelon mixture over top, leaving about 1/2 inch or more at the top
- Add a splash of club soda or other sparking water.
- Garnish with additional mint leaves and a slice of lime.
Notes
- Strain: don't skip the straining part - otherwise the consistency will be a bit weird and separation will occur.
- *you could also use a fun watermelon mineral water to add additional flavor!
