Instructions to make watermelon vodka cocktail

Step 1

Put the watermelon chunks in a blender and process until they turn smooth.

Step 2

Pour using a fine-mesh sieve twice or three times or until the pulp is entirely smooth and free. Or pass through a bag of nut milk.

Step 3

In a cocktail shaker, mix the vodka, lime juice, and watermelon juice (you should have about 1 cup remaining) with any added sweetness. Use ice to shake.

Step 4

Enjoy after pouring over the ice! Pour some club soda on top to make it bubbly.

Recipe Variations

Sweet syrup

You can add any sweet syrup of your choice or choose to omit the sugar as watermelon is sweet naturally.

Mint

Use ground mint in the recipe or garnish the cocktail with fresh mint leaves to boost the freshness level of the cocktail.

Frozen cocktail

You can also prepare a frozen cocktail or slush by using frozen cubes of watermelon instead of fresh ones.

White Rum

You can use any other liquor here in this cocktail, including white rum or tequila.

Lemon juice

You may replace lime juice with lemon juice if you believe the watermelon is too sweet.

Recipe Tips to Get That Flawless Watermelon Vodka Cocktail

Always use fresh and ripe watermelons for this drink, as they are sweet, colorful, and yummy.
For serving a large number of people, you can prepare this watermelon vodka cocktail in bulk. You must not forget to put the ice just before serving. Otherwise, the drink will become waterier.
Try to use seedless watermelon for the best version of the cocktail. Watermelon with seeds can also work, as we will stain the puree, but seedless watermelon tastes far better.
Rim the glass with salt or granulated sugar for an appealing experience.
You can freeze the cubes of watermelon and use them as a replacement for ice to avoid your drink from being diluted.
Garnish the glass rim with a thin slice of watermelon to make the drink eye-catching.
