Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh watermelon (cubed)
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 ounce Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 ounce Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 ounce Cranberry juice
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Watermelon wedge or lime wheel (for garnish)
Instructions
Add the watermelon cubes to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp. You should have approximately 3 ounces of fresh watermelon juice.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
Add 2 ounces of watermelon juice, the vodka, orange liqueur, lime juice, and cranberry juice to the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds, until the mixture is well-chilled.
Strain the liquid into a chilled martini glass using a cocktail strainer.
Garnish the drink with a watermelon wedge or lime wheel on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Cosmo!
