\nWhat do you do when life hands you lemons?<\/strong> Make lemonade? How about something more imaginative, exotic? With or without the Absolut Citron, this amazing cocktail from Shoes & Cocktails<\/a>, “Watermelon Lemonade<\/strong>,” refreshes and revitalizes.<\/p>\n

The Ingredients\/Recipe:<\/strong>
\nServes 3 or 4
\nCut \u00bd of a small watermelon into large chunks (do yourself a favor and get a seedless melon)
\nPuree in a blender, then strain into a pitcher (you should have enough liquid for a 3 to 1 alcohol ratio)
\nAdd juice of two lemons
\nAdd 3 or 4 shots vodka, preferably Absolut Citron
\nMix well, then pour over ice
\nGarnish with fresh basil<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Modifications: I generally prefer things tart rather than sweet. If this recipe is too tart for your liking, I recommend adding more watermelon, or 1 to 2 ounces of triple sec, Cointreau, or some other form of simple syrup. You can also garnish with mint, and\/or lemon or watermelon wedges. I prefer basil because it is growing outside my backdoor, and nothing beats that smell in the summer!
\nBonus tip: Here’s another perfect opportunity for using flavored ice cubes. Pour watermelon puree into your ice tray and freeze.
\nThanks to Shoes & Cocktails<\/a> for this summer delight!
