I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE - WHAT DO I NEED?

• Watermelon Vodka – find a good quality watermelon vodka!  Smirnoff Watermelon & Mint Vodka Infusions and Skyy Watermelon Infusions are both wonderful!
• Watermelon Juice – Simply Watermelon Juice and Trader Joe’s Sparkling Watermelon Juice are both fabulous!  If time is on your side, you can also make homemade watermelon juice by blending COLD cubed watermelon in a blender and straining through a fine mesh sieve. Fresh watermelon juice is best served immediately after preparing.  Allow 2 cups of cubed watermelon for each 1 cup of fresh watermelon juice.
• Fresh Lime Juice – freshly squeezed lime juice is best!  You’ll only need a splash for each cocktail.
• Sparkling Watermelon Cocktails – if you like fizzy drinks, you can add a bit of fizz by adding Watermelon Club Soda, Watermelon Sparkling Water or Sprite.
• Fresh Watermelon and Fresh Mint – make these drinks so pretty to serve and sip!
• For Watermelon Vodka Slushes, add ingredients to a drink blender or blender with LOTS of ice! 
• For something special and different, you can make Watermelon & Mint Ice Cubes!  Simply fill an ice cube tray with watermelon juice and place a piece of fresh mint in each well before freezing.
