Watermelon Smash with Strawberries

July 8, 2020

A watermelon smash made with fresh strawberries and watermelon juice is like summer in a glass. Similar to a spritzer, with the addition of vodka, plus the addition of fresh mint makes this a refreshing drink, perfect on a hot day.

Watermelon Mojito with Mint

June 11, 2011

If you are anything like most of the people I know, you enjoy the occasional libation… I bought a watermelon a few days ago and my first thought aside from devouring that ice cold coral flesh (with a little sprinkle of kosher salt) was cocktails!  A watermelon mojito is the perfect thing to have in hand when it is blazing hot outside. It is fruity, light and refreshing.

For my watermelon mojito I use a watermelon rum, but if you can’t find that just use a plain light rum or experiment with whatever sounds good to you. (try a red peach rum or a dragonfruit rum).
What’s the worst thing that can happen? If you don’t like it, pour it out and crack open a beer…
