How To Make refreshing summer cocktail with or without liquor!

  • Step 1
    Get a blender and pop in chunks of fresh (cold) watermelon, pitted cherries (I pitted them myself). Ice cubes.
  • Step 2
    Fresh squeezed lime juice, however much you want.
  • Step 3
    For non-alcoholic, simply blend and add a fresh sprig of mint on top.
  • Step 4
    To add alcohol: I found that vodka was more to my taste, but I tried my own jalapeno-infused tequila the first time. About a shot and a half should do it! Good liquor is a must.
  • Step 5
    Take your used lime and rim your chilled martini glass, dip in sugar and pour your blend into it and top with your mint! Voila!
  • Step 6
    Optional variation that's nonalcoholic: Pellegrino, splash of cranberry and all of the other ingredients, blended (without the liquor). Very pretty to look at, too!
