Instructions

In the spirit of summer refreshment, the Watermelon Mint Zest captures the essence of sunshine and relaxation. This cocktail blends the smoothness of vodka with the sweet tanginess of lemonade, the refreshing quality of watermelon juice, and is accentuated with the fresh zing of lemon slices and mint leaves. It's an impeccable choice for a hot day or whenever you crave a burst of summer. Ingredients: - 2 oz Vodka - 3 oz Watermelon juice (freshly squeezed or pureed and strained watermelon) - 2 oz Lemonade - Fresh lemon slices (for garnish) - Mint leaves (a handful for muddling and extra for garnish) - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. In a shaker, gently muddle a handful of mint leaves to release their aroma and oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, as the mint can become bitter. 2. Add the vodka, watermelon juice, and lemonade to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, ensuring a smooth blend. 5. Garnish with a wheel or wedge of lemon on the rim and a sprig of mint. Glass: Serve in a highball glass for a tall, refreshing look that allows for ample ice and garnishes, enhancing the drinking experience visually and flavorfully. This presentation not only showcases the vibrant color but also makes it ideal for sipping and enjoying the layered tastes of summer.
