Refreshing Watermelon Martini Recipe
There’s nothing more relaxing than sitting on your patio on a warm summer night with a Martini in hand! Imagine your patio lit up by candlelight or string lights twinkling while you’re sipping a most delightful Watermelon Martini!
Watermelon is the symbol of summer, and it’s fun to incorporate it into as much as you can while it’s in season.
Not only is it delicious, but it is also totally refreshing and loved by all. Who doesn’t love a slice of juicy sweet watermelon?
Well, imagine that in a Martini—now you’re really in heaven!
How to Make a Simple and Delicious Watermelon Martini
What makes this even more appealing is the simplicity! It only takes minutes to transform chunks of watermelon into a delicious puree of watermelon. Some people like to strain out the pulp, but I like it right from the blender!
This simple martini is just a mix of Watermelon Puree, Vodka, Cointreau, Lemon Juice, and Agave Nectar. Mix this all up over ice in a cocktail shaker and shake, shake, shake, then strain into a beautiful martini glass.
Garnish this lovely cocktail with a small slice of watermelon and head out to the patio!
