Ingredients

  • 1 cup cubed seedless watermelon

  • Ice

  • cup lemon-lime flavor coconut water

  • 1 ½ ounces (3 tablespoons) premium vodka

  • 1 lime, halved

  • 2 small watermelon wedges

Directions

  1. Place watermelon in a blender or small food processor. Cover and process until liquefied. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then add pureed watermelon, coconut water and vodka to the shaker; squeeze juice from half of the lime into the shaker. Vigorously shake the cocktail. Strain into two chilled martini glasses.

  2. Cut the other half of the lime into two wedges. Skewer a lime wedge and a watermelon wedge on each of two cocktail picks; garnish each glass with one of the skewers.

Tips

Variation: For nonalcoholic Watermelontinis, prepare as directed, except omit the vodka.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
