I just discovered a new drink this weekend when I was spending some much needed relaxing summer time up at my cabin. I love gin and I love tonic water so naturally my drink of choice is a gin and tonic! But a WATERMELON gin and tonic is just too good to be true. Refreshing and now overly sweet, it is the quintessential summer drink. Hope you guys enjoy it too.
Ingredients
Gin
Tonic water
Wedge of lime
Watermelon slices
Sugar
Here’s How
- Make watermelon puree. In a blender combine watermelon slices and about a tablespoon of sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you like your cocktails). Blend mixture until smooth and set aside.
- Add 1 (or two) shots of your favorite gin to a glass of ice. Top off glass with tonic water and a squeeze of lime.
- Pour one tablespoon of watermelon puree into drink and garnish with a slice of watermelon.
