The Most Awesome Summer Watermelon, Ever

Is it salad, is it dessert? Or is it happy hour? Call it what you will, this watermelon is delicious and certainly quenches that need for something cold and fruity on a warm day (of course, for those of the appropriate legal drinking age). Oh, right, did I not mention that this is infused with vodka?  :)


Summer Watermelon




Serves 4

You will need:

6 cups 1" chunks of watermelon
1/2 cup very cold vodka (we keep ours in the freezer)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, torn up

Whisk together the lemon juice, and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Then stir in the vodka. Pour mixture over the watermelon, then add the mint. Gently toss. Chill for at least half an hour before serving. Give it a good stir before dishing up. Enjoy!
