I just HAD to post this recipe! I have been looking and looking for a fun and festive cool drink for summer entertaining. Or, to just enjoy on your deck with your hubby.. wink,wink! This is what I came up with! Let me know if any of you try it! Yummmo!
WATERMELON VOKDA SLUSH
what you will need: 4 cups watermelon, blended in the blender, seeds removed
2 oz. lemonade concentrate in the can, thawed
2 T. lemon juice
1 c. vodka (optional)
2 oz. melon liqueur
lemon zest to garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Pour the blended and pureed watermelon into empty ice cube trays and freeze.
In the blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, lemonade concentrate, lemon juice, vodka, and melon liqueur; blend until smooth. Pour into 4 martini glasses and garnish each with a sprinkle of lemon zest. note: I froze the glasses before hand too. the drinks stayed colder and firmer longer. :)
Now, you can make this a "PG" drink by omitting the vodka, of course! But, after a hot day of entertaining the relatives... you may need that vodka, Ha! Have a great weekend ladies!!!
Mix 'em up and I'll be right over! We're on Day Two of 90ยบ and humid here in Maine ... and this sounds perfect!

Perfect drink to tide us over until it is cool enough for Chai!
