I don’t know about you, but after a few days of eating watermelon, I have a few stragglers that sit in the fridge that I seem to forget about. Don’t throw them out! Use them for a refreshing and fun summer cocktail!
You will need:
½ cup chopped watermelon
2 large mint leaves
1 ounce vodka
½ ounce Cointreau
½ ounce lime juice
1 tsp simple syrup
Lime slice
Mint sprig
Add the melon and mint to a cocktail shaker. Muddle (gently mash) them with a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon to release the juices.
Add the vodka, Cointreau, lime juice and simple syrup. Fill with ice and shake until cold. Strain the drink into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lime slice and mint.
