Watermelon Mint Lime Martini

Last update: July 15, 2016 By Alice Currah 26 Comments

I’ve never been one to make a cocktail for the reason of “just because.”  But today I’m making an exception because there was half a baby watermelon in my fridge which needed to be used up.  Instead of eating it I felt like making a drink out of it, and let me tell you what a fine drink it is.

Made with vodka and not gin or vermouth, I’m still calling this cocktail a watermelon mint lime martini because… because I feel like it.  And if I sound a little sassy, it’s because I am.  Today was a rough day and I’ll just leave it at that.

I wasn’t planning on writing a post about it but after taking a small sip, I changed my mind because you really  need to make one this weekend if you’re a cocktail type of person.  Unfortunately there are no step by step photos with for this drink but I think you’ll manage just fine.

Have a great weekend everyone!
