Ingredients

For a Crowd
  • 8 cups watermelon chunks
  • 3 cups water
  • Juice of 3 limes
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups vodka
  • 12 ounces club soda ginger beer, or lemon-lime soda
  • ice for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the watermelon, water, lime juice, and sugar (if using), into the blender. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth.
  2. Place a fine mesh sieve over a pitcher and pour the watermelon puree through the strainer into the pitcher with ice.
  3. Stir the vodka into the watermelon juice, then top with the soda water. Stir again.
  4. 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.
