How to make a martini with fresh watermelon

1. In a shaker, add your fresh lime juice and mint leaves. Muddle. 2. Add in your fresh watermelon, and muddle until you get a watermelon puree. This may sound daunting, but it's incredibly simple and easy. 3. Add in ice, and your vodka and shake vigorously until your cocktail shaker is frosted. This also helps create that fresh watermelon puree. 4. Strain into a martini glass and enjoy!

Can I use watermelon vodka for this recipe? Yes! If you want that added watermelon flavor, you totally can. Absolut Watermelon Vodka is a great option. If you're looking for a great watermelon-flavored vodka brand, I love Absolut's! And I don't love artificial watermelon-flavored things, and I love this vodka.
