Print Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups heaping cups of watermelon chunks
½ cup of the watermelon juice that results from cutting the melon (if you can save it, if not just add more watermelon)
¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice
Simple syrup to taste see notes
½ cup or 1 cup of vodka depending on how strong you enjoy your cocktails
Ice
Watermelon balls or triangles and lime segments for garnish

Instructions

Place watermelon chunks and watermelon juice in your blender, give it a whirl until it is pureed.
Add in lime juice and simple syrup and pulse until combined, taste and adjust to your preference of sweetness.
Add in ½ cup vodka, pulse and taste. Adjust to your preference for sweetness and strength.
Fill tall glasses with ice, and pour mixture over-top.
Garnish with watermelon balls and lime. Serve.

Notes

Add simple syrup according to how sweet your watermelon is as well as how sweet you prefer your cocktails. I add between ¼ to ½ cup.

To make simple syrup combine equal parts sugar and water, heat just until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cool completely. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.

If you like a little fizz in your cocktails, add in a splash or two of club soda or lemon-lime soda.
