The Sensational Watermelon Vodka Cocktail: The Icy Cold Melon Mixer
When the sun’s out and the temps start climbing, there’s nothing better than a cold, refreshing cocktail to cool things down. Summer is the perfect time to play around with fresh, juicy flavors—and this one checks all the boxes. Meet the Melon Mixer, a light and refreshing drink that pairs smooth vodka with sweet, fresh watermelon.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Ounces Vodka
- 1 Ounce Watermelon Puree
- 2 Ounces Sweet & Sour Mix
- Splash of Club Soda
- Garnish with Watermelon Chunks, Optional
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker half full of ice.
- Add the vodka, watermelon puree, and sweet & sour mix to the shaker, then shake for 10 seconds.
- Pour the strained ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice. Top it off with the club soda.
- Garnish with watermelon chunks, optional.
Notes
The watermelon puree can be a bit pricey if you make just a few drinks. Instead, I made a pitcher of Melon Mixers for my July 4th 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.
This is the recipe for 2 quarts of Melon Mixer: 4 cups Vodka, 2 cups Watermelon Puree, and 2 cups Sweet and Sour mix. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then stir well, add ice, and you are ready to go!
