Watermelon Cocktail/Mocktail
Makes 1 drink in 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. fresh watermelon juice
- ½ fresh lime, juiced
- 2 oz. sparkling water
- Lime slice, garnish
- Mint sprig, garnish
If making as a cocktail, add:
- 1 ½ oz. excellent vodka
- ½ oz. Cointreau or Grand Marnier, optional
Instructions:
To make watermelon juice, just blend the pulp from the other half of the seedless watermelon left over from the salad. 2 cups of pulp makes almost 2 cups of juice. If you love mint, feel free to pulse a few leaves with the watermelon in the blender, then strain (if desired) and serve over ice with sprig of mint and a lime slice for a refreshing cooler on a hot summer day.
