Watermelon is an excellent summer fruit to add into your drink recipes. Watermelon is versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. While fresh watermelon juice tastes best, store-bought options are also available. You can find Simply Watermelon Juice and Sparkling Watermelon Juice at most grocery stores. To give your watermelon martini that summery taste, you can also add bottled lime juice.
Limeade
Watermelon lemonade is a refreshing and tasty summer drink. It is made with natural ingredients, such as watermelon and limeade concentrate. Its sweet-tart taste is ideal for special occasions, backyard barbecues, or porch sitting. It's also delicious and refreshing and makes an excellent party drink.
You have two options when making watermelon limeade: either cut the watermelon in chunks or blend it to create a liquid that is pulp-free. Next, combine the watermelon juice and mint simple syrup with vodka. Serve it over ice or cold. You can make the pitcher ahead of time, then freeze it.
Watermelon soda is another summertime favorite beverage. This can be made from simple syrup. It's a good way to get rid of any watermelon left over and it can also be enjoyed anytime. You can make watermelon lime sour by mixing the watermelon with lime juice. Then, serve it over ice. This drink tastes just like the authentic juices you'll get from a Mexican restaurant.
Margarita
If you're looking for a refreshing drink that's perfect for summertime, a Margarita with watermelon may be right for you. The watermelon cubes are frozen in two cups to make this fruity drink. Then, divide the mixture among glasses and garnish with watermelon and lime.
Watermelon is naturally sweet so you don't have to add sugar. To make the drink sweeter, you could add simple syrup and agave honey. You can adjust the sweetness by adjusting how much agave is added.
Cut a wedge of lime into small pieces and add it to your margarita. Add a pinch of salt and lime juice, or use a salt substitute. Mix the ice in a shaker. Next, add watermelon juice and lime juice to the shaker. Mix the ingredients for 20 seconds. If you like, you can also use dirty water.
Watermelon martini
Watermelon martini contains antioxidants, and it is an alcohol-free drink. For this drink, you will need to prepare two cups of water and one cup of sugar granulated. 1/4 teaspoon of salt is also required. Blend until sugar is dissolved. Add watermelon chunks and blend the blender. To garnish your drink, use a wedge of watermelon. Add the mixture to a cocktail shaker. Mix with ice. Next, strain the mixture using a strainer.
Watermelon martinis can be enjoyed in summertime drinks that are made from seasonal ingredients. A watermelon of personal size weighs between 4 and 6 pounds, yielding four cups. In addition to the juice, you can use orange liqueur or vodka to sweeten the drink. Finally, serve the martini by serving it in a martini mug.
The refreshing watermelon martini has a delicious fruit flavour and is refreshing. It's the perfect summer cocktail for a day by the pool. The watermelon puree is sweet and juicy and pairs well with vodka. You can make the drink at home by blending watermelon cubes with vodka, orange liqueur, and lime juice. In a cocktail shaker combine all the ingredients and chill it in a martini.
