Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed (or 1 cup watermelon juice)
- 3 ounces vodka (about 1/3–1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- Prepare the Watermelon: If using fresh watermelon, cut into cubes and blend until smooth to make watermelon juice. If you have pre-made watermelon juice, measure 1 cup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a shaker or mixing glass, combine the watermelon juice, vodka, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup.
- Shake or Stir: Shake well with ice or stir until the honey/agave is fully incorporated and the mixture is chilled.
- Serve: Strain into a chilled glass filled with ice. Garnish with a small watermelon wedge or a lime slice if desired.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and add club soda or sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave to your taste.
- Chill ingredients beforehand for a colder, more refreshing cocktail.
