Ingredients

  • 1 small watermelon
  • (or good cold-pressed watermelon juice)
  • a few lemons (or limes)
  • st. germain, to taste
  • vodka, to taste
  • ice

 Instructions

  1. First, de-seed your watermelon, then add the watermelon flesh into a blender. Take the rind and squeeze out as much remaining juice as you can. Blend until smooth, then strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer. (Or skip this step and start with some good cold-pressed watermelon juice).
  2. To your watermelon juice, add a few sqeezes of lemon or lime.
  3. Pour watermelon juice into glasses with ice, then stir in St. Germain and Vodka to taste. St. Germain is sweet so depending on the sweetness of your watermelon, you may want to add more or less of it. For more tartness, add more lemon. For more booziness, add more vodka.
