- ice cubes
Directions:
How to Make a Watermelon Vodka Cocktail:
Place the diced watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the vodka and lime juice to the puree and stir well.
Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes, then pour in the watermelon mixture. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is cold to the touch.
Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Garnish with a piece of watermelon and a thin slice of lime. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Some Recipe Tips:
Chill the Watermelon: For an extra cold and refreshing cocktail, chill the diced watermelon in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes before blending. This reduces the need for extra ice, which can dilute the drink.
Use Fresh Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice offers a brighter and more natural flavor compared to bottled juice. Roll the lime on the countertop before cutting to release more juice.
Infuse with Herbs: For an herbal twist, add a few fresh mint or basil leaves to the cocktail shaker before shaking. This will infuse the cocktail with a subtle, aromatic flavor that pairs well with watermelon and lime.
Keep the Cocktail Balanced: Taste the cocktail after shaking to ensure the flavors are balanced. Adjust with more lime for tartness, simple syrup for sweetness, or vodka for a stronger kick.
