Cool drink for a warm Memorial Day weekend!


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!!!
