Ingredients that you’ll need to make a Melon Mixer cocktail
- Absolut Vodka
- Watermelon Puree
- Sweet & Sour Mix
- Club Soda
- Watermelon chunks for garnish
Tips
Try Absolut, Tito’s, or Ketel One for an all-around good Vodka.
I found the Watermelon Puree; it’s a bit pricey, so I also tried the Watermelon Syrup. Using the Watermelon Syrup makes a cocktail that tastes terrible. The Watermelon Puree is the only way to go.

Bar Tools you’ll need to make a Melon Mixer
Here is an awesome product to help YOU make the most incredible drinks. Impress your family and friends and be the BEST Cocktail Barista in your neighborhood.
Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world. I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

And remember the glasses. This drink is meant to be enjoyed outside in the beautiful summer weather. You don’t want to take glass on the boat or by the pool, so the 20-ounce acrylic glasses (shown below) are perfect for any outdoor occasion. Remember to put a ‘double’ 2 portions of the Melon Mixer in the 20-ounce glass. If you want a single serving, the 15-ounce acrylic glasses in the photo above are a better choice. Remember, add lots of ice!

Melon Mixer Cocktail Directions
Fill a cocktail shaker half full of ice.
Add the Vodka, watermelon puree, and sweet & sour mix to the shaker. Shake for 10 seconds then pour the strained ingredients into a tall glass with ice.
Top off the cocktail with club soda.
Garnish with a piece of watermelon. It’s amazing!
Since I didn’t want to waste the watermelon puree, I made a pitcher of Melon Mixers for my 4th of July Party. They can be made one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator without ice. Add ice to the pitcher instead of the club soda when you are ready to serve. Everyone will love the Melon Mixer!
As temperatures rise and summer beckons, embrace the season’s bounty with this delightful Melon Mixer. The cocktail, bursting with fresh flavors and coolness, is the ultimate way to toast to the joys of summer. So, grab your shaker, mix up a batch, and savor the taste of sunshine in every sip. Cheers to summer!
