Easy Watermelon Cocktail Recipe
Easy Watermelon Cocktail - a simple and refreshing watermelon cocktail recipe that is perfect for a hot summer day!!
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon very ripe
- 4 teaspoons honey more to taste
- juice of 1 lime
- 2-3 ounces vodka more or less, as desired
- 2-3 fresh mint leaves
- ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon club soda or more*
Instructions
- Cut Watermelon: Roughly chop up 2-3 cups of watermelon; try to remove as many seeds as possible.
- Blend: Add watermelon to a blender along with 4 teaspoons honey, juice of 1 lime, 2-3 ounces vodka and 2-3 fresh mint leaves. Blend until fully liquid.
- Adjust: 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: Pour the watermelon mixture through a fine mesh sieve to strain - this will ensure the consistency is smooth.
- Make Cocktail: 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 ½ inch or more at the top. Add a splash of club soda or other sparking water.
- Serve: 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!
