I'll try this again, but the first time I made it, I couldn't get the watermelon to puree down enough and they had a kind of weird consistency. Maybe it was the melon?

Perfect summertime martini! Use chilled glasses with these. They're much better chilled. They have a really nice watermelon flavour. So good! Thanks K&W&c! Made for PAC Spring 2008.
