Sour Watermelon Martini

Maybe you have noticed, maybe you haven't. 

I have posted 4 recipes so far, including this one.

2 of the 4 are for cocktails.

 

Oops - maybe I should have some variety.

I don't feel that bad about it though... they taste good!

Sour Watermelon Martini 
Serves 4

Simple Syrup Ingredients

1 1/2 Cup water
3/4 Cup sugar

Watermelon Vodka Ingredients

12 oz watermelon, pureed

6 oz vodka

Directions

Make the simple syrup so it has time to cool (bring 1 1/2 Cup water + 3/4 Cup sugar to a boil - make sure all sugar dissolves).  To make the watermelon vodka, blend watermelon until you have 12 oz, then add the 6 oz of vodka.  It will separate over time so make sure to give it a quick blend right before you use it.

Sour Watermelon Martini Ingredients

3 oz simple syrup

3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz lemon juice

4 oz watermelon vodka

Superfine sugar, optional

Watermelon slice, optional

Directions

Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker, top with ice and shake vigorously. Optional garnishes: Pour superfine sugar onto a plate.  Use a lime or lemon wedge to wet the rim of a chilled martini glass and dip into sugar.  Strain in watermelon mixture and garnish with the watermelon wedge.  Pretty!

Yum!
