This watermelon martini with fresh melon is the perfect way to cool down this summer!
The Tall One and I love watermelon, and now that summer is near we can finally get melons that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Â Tasting fresh, juicy watermelon inspired me to make this watermelon cocktail. Â Not only is it sweet and tasty, it’s nice to look at too. Â You could also make this with cantaloupe or honeydew, or use all three for a really colorful drink. Â Cheers!

Thank you! I’m usually happy to get one good photo, especially of drinks which I think are difficult subjects, but I couldn’t stop taking pictures of this one.

Funny, I think of Midori as pretty run of the mill. I don’t know why I even have it, but sometimes I end up using it in margaritas if I’m low on Cointreau or agave nectar. I had never tried Chambord until I saw you use it, and I bought it for the Raspberry Sake cocktails. The bottle is so pretty, how could I resist?
