Easy Watermelon Vodka Cocktail
A fresh and refreshing Watermelon Vodka Cocktail made with real watermelon, lime juice, mint, honey, and vodka. This easy summer cocktail comes together in just 10 minutes and is perfect for parties, patio nights, or cooling off on a hot 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!
