It’s been a heck of year and we think you deserve a drink! If a super refreshing summer cocktail recipe is something that interests you, then you’re in the right place. We went ahead and found the perfect combination of fresh watermelon juice, orange juice, lime juice, and of course Vodka, to make one of the best summer cocktails we’ve ever had. This recipe is very easy, but with a few fun twists that take it to the next level. Oh, and certainly feel free to leave out the vodka if you want a delicious mocktail in the form of the ultimate fruit punch.

Ingredients

1/2 Seedless Watermelon

• 2 Cups Fresh Watermelon Juice (1/4 watermelon)

1 1/3 Cup Orange Juice (fresh squeezed or store bought)

4 TBSP Lime Juice

4 oz Vodka ( 8 TBSP)

Directions

1. Make watermelon juice by cutting 1 quarter of a watermelon into chunks. Then place in a blender and blend for 20ish seconds until it turns into juice. Set 2 cups aside.

2. Make 12 watermelon balls by using a 1/2 tbsp to scoop out balls from another 1/4 watermelon. Freeze 8 and keep 4 cold.

3. In a small pitcher, combine the watermelon juice, lime juice, vodka and orange juice and stir together.

4. To serve: Fill each glass halfway with ice and then 2 frozen watermelon balls. Pour in the cocktail mixture. Garnish with the lime slice flat on top like the picture above, and place one unfrozen watermelon ball on the rim.

Cheers!
