Instructions
- Place the watermelon, water, lime juice, and sugar (if using), into the blender. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth.
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a pitcher and pour the watermelon puree through the strainer into the pitcher with ice.
- Stir the vodka into the watermelon juice, then top with the soda water. Stir again.
- Serve cold and garnish cocktails with fresh mint, a watermelon slice, and lime slices.
Notes
- Use 1 cup watermelon chunks, 1/2 cup water, the juice of 1 lime, 3 ounces of vodka, and 6 ounces of soda.
- Use a good, ripe watermelon. If you find that the watermelon isn't as sweet as you'd like, make a simple syrup!
- This cocktail will keep for a day in the fridge, so make it a day ahead without the soda, and stir to combine the ingredients before topping with the soda and serving over ice cubes. Perfect for summer parties!
- Use a good quality vodka. A high-quality vodka will have a smooth, clean flavor that will not overpower the watermelon flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Watermelon pairs well with a variety of different fruits and flavors, so feel free to add your own twist to the classic watermelon vodka cocktail.
