watermelon cocktail

Stole this recipe from the Because I'm Addicted blog. I've been on a severe watermelon kick this summer - always have one cut up in the fridge. Plus I usually have a bottle of vodka or ten in the freezer. This cocktail is perfect for switching it up between shitty bbq beer and whiskey benders. It's summer, after all. 


The Watermelon Picnic Cocktail

You will need:
2 Parts Kanon Vodka
2 Parts Watermelon Chunks
2 Parts Lemon Lime Soda
1/2 Part Lemon Juice
1/2 part Simple Syrup (easy recipe here)

1. Chop watermelon and muddle in a mixing tin along with lemon juice and simple syrup, add Kanon, shake it like a polaroid picture.

2. Strain into a glass over ice, top with lemon lime soda, garnish with a slice of watermelon. Enjoy!
