"Nice refreshing drink from watermelon.org. Careful - it's potent."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 ounces vodka
• 1⁄2 ounce lime juice

• 1⁄2 ounce Chambord raspberry liquor

directions

1. Place all ingredients in a shaker and shake until very well chilled, about 30 seconds.

Very nice,fresh summertime martini. I will make this again tonight and update my response,leaving out the triple sec and Chambord as an alternative method for myself. I think I really like the taste of watermelon, so I felt the other two might have detracted from the flavor I was anticipating. Triplesec and Chambord aren't my favorite flavors,so that part may just be me - others should make it as written and determine for themselves how they like it. I LOVED the icy almost slushines I got from shaking the frozen watermelon too (DH helpd to be sure I was vigorous enough!!)....SOOO fabulous and PINK!!! ;) Will be making again,in 2 weeks when my friend comes in town! Great recipe addition,Lazyme - thank you!!!
