Minty Watermelon Surfer
Total Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 1 large pitcher
Get on your surfboard and let this watermelon splash you!
This is a fun, summery drink, made with one of my favorite summer fruits, watermelon! For this recipe, I use watermelon in two different ways — juiced and cubed. I let the cubed watermelon be soaked up for a while so that when you pop in these spiked-up watermelon cubes, they will give you an irresistibly refreshing burst.
It’s a simple, fun drink, perfect for the 4th of July and all summer long!
Ingredients
1 watermelon
1 bunch mint
1 1/2 cup vodka
3 limes, juiced
Sparkling water or club soda to top it off
Instructions
Cut half of a whole watermelon. Scoop out the meat of the halved watermelon into a blender. Blend it until it’s juiced. Cube the other half of the watermelon. Put it aside.
In a large pitcher, muddle mint first. Add ice and pour vodka, watermelon juice, and lime juice, and stir.
Add chunks of cubed watermelon to the pitcher and mix it all together.
Pour the drink into an iced glass, and finish it off with more fresh mint and a little bit of sparkling water. Finish with a bottle of sparkling water.
