I’m a pretty lucky girl. The mister loves to experiment and mix all sorts of drinks. The results are 99% of the time absolutely delicious.
Lately he’s really been into making cocktails with blended watermelon and I have to say I don’t mind one bit.
Three different bases, one fruity theme. Each recipe serves two. Pick your poison.
- 1/2 cup watermelon and 2 small slices
- 12 ounces prosecco
- Mint to garnish
Blend watermelon and place 2 ounces of blended watermelon in each champagne glass. Top the rest with prosecco. Garnish with mint and a slice of watermelon.
- 3/4 cup watermelon
- 3 ounces gin
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1/2 a lime
- sparkling water
- water and ice
- rosemary to garnish
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, gin, simple syrup, juice of 1/2 a lime, and a splash of water. Shake shake shake and fill your glasses. Top with 3 ounces blended water melon and sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
- 1/2 cup watermelon
- 3 ounces bourbon
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- bitters
- ice
- lime
Place watermelon at the bottom of each glass and muddle with the back of a spoon. Fill cocktail shaker with ice and add bourbon, simple syrup, several dashes bitters, and shake. Pour on top of muddled watermelon and squeeze a quarter lime into each glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Do you prefer prosecco, gin, bourbon, or something else entirely?
I’m a gin girl myself
Wow, nice work Ryan! I would love one of those gin cocktails. The pink color is so pretty!
Ooh, these are so pretty and they sound so refreshing! How nice to have your own personal bartender. 🙂
No lies it comes in handy after a long day
