It gets so hot excruciatingly hot during the summer that a tasty cocktail is a must! Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and every spring and summer weekend in between, you are going to need an amazingly refreshing cocktail that will keep your guests happy all day. Watermelon is the perfect base to start with because it has so much water in it. Hydration is key!!
The genius of this cocktail are the specialty flavors of cucumber vodka, St. Germain and Watermelon juice that come together in a mouthwatering pleasure explosion. I promise you will fall in love just like I did. You will be buying watermelons every weekend all summer long!
This watermelon vodka cocktail is so yummy that you will be happy with it strained and unstrained. It is up to you! Personally, I am a fan of the unstrained version with the muddled watermelon, mint and cucumber in the glass. Note is that if you are using straws, you should strain the drink so that it can easily come through the straw.
You can also garnish with skinny watermelon wedges with side slices if you want to make the cocktail look super fancy. I love fancy so of course, I garnished with the watermelon wedges. Yes, I would like my watermelon drink with a side of watermelon…thank you!

I made this awesome cocktail with the help of this bar set. Start making your own cocktails this summer by buying this starter bar set. We absolutely love mixing fun cocktails like this Fizzy Watermelon Juice Cocktail and Watermelon Rose’ Wine Slushie. Also, if you are going for a watermelon theme, my Blueberry and Watermelon Poke Cake, Watermelon Ceviche Recipe, and Watermelon Salad are always a big hit at parties.
