Ingredients

Martini
  • 2 cucumber slices each
  • 2 cubes fresh watermelon
  • ¼ ounce simple syrup
  • 1½ ounces vodka
  • ½ ounce fresh sour mix

Instructions

Combine the watermelon cubes, cucumber slices and simple syrup in a glass and muddle well. Add your favorite vodka, and fresh sour mix. Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass! Garnish with frozen watermelon cubes or a fresh cucumber slice.

 

Secrets to Shake it Up:

 

Really impress your friends by making your own refreshing cucumber vodka! Slice a cucumber and place in your favorite vodka and allow to infuse for 24- 48 hours.

 

If you like your cocktails on the sweeter side add a bit more simple syrup.

 

Like Margaritas? Substitute Tequila for Vodka and increase your sour mix to 1.5 ounce, shake and strain over ice into a glass with a salt rim!
