Sour Watermelontini-
3oz Vodka
2oz Watermelon Pucker
Splash of Sour Mix
Mix all of the ingredients in an ice filled martini shaker - strain into a chilled martini glass. Bottoms Up!
The Great Watermelon Bowl
1 cup Vodka
4 oz. Triple Sec
4 oz. Watermelon Liqueur
2 750ml bottles of Sparkling Wine or Champagne
2 Cups Watermelon Juice
2 Cups of White Cranberry Juice
Slice a medium sized Watermelon in half, scoop out the center & set it aside. Try to preserve any watermelon juice from the melon for mixing.
In a picture, combine vodka, triple sec, watermelon liqueur, champagne or sparkling wine, watermelon juice, white cranberry juice. Mix well. Fill watermelon with ice, & pour the mixture in the “watermelon bowl”. Add slices/chunks of watermelon for garnish. To keep the bowl from sliding, before filling it, flatten it a little by cutting a small slice of it on the bottom. Be careful not to put a hole in it!
