Lori's Watermelon Cocktail

June 02, 2017

A watermelon cocktail that is ready in minutes. Tasty and refreshing, it brings back childhood memories of cooling off with fresh watermelon in the summer.

4 cups watermelon pieces, plus wedges for garnish
½ cup (4 ounces) vodka
¼ cup (2 ounces) orange liqueur (such as Citrónge or Triple Sec)
1 ounce lime juice, or more to taste

Process the watermelon in a blender to juice. If you prefer less pulp, strain the juice through a coffee filter in a strainer. This step is optional. Then add the vodka and orange liqueur. Stir and taste. Add 1 ounce of lime juice, then stir and taste again. If the mixture is too sweet, add more lime juice to taste. You should end up with approximately 3 cups or 24 fluid ounces of finished cocktail. Serve over ice, garnished with melon wedges or mint sprigs.
