This watermelon martini is a sweet, boozy summer refresher. Use the juice from a watermelon that’s so ripe and succulent you have to eat it over the sink, and save a wedge of it for the garnish.

Ingredients

2 ounces strained watermelon juice
2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce Cointreau
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce lime juice
1 small watermelon wedge

Directions

Fill a shaker half full with ice. Add watermelon juice, vodka, Cointreau, syrup and lime juice. Cover and shake until condensation forms on outside of shaker, 10-15 seconds. Strain into glass. Garnish with watermelon wedge.
