Watermelon - Strawberry -Vodka - Summer Cooler (Serves 2)
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into manageable chunks
- 1 cup hulled strawberries (aka green parts cut off) and cut in half
- food processor (or blender, mine is sadly dead)
- fine mesh strainer
- large bowl
- 2 shots of vodka (jalapeno vodka if you use Attempt #1)
- Lots O Ice
- 2 tall glasses
- straws optional but recommended
Throw the watermelon and strawberries into the food processor.
Turn it on and let it crank for at least 2 minutes to make sure everything gets broken up well. Pour the mixture through the fine mesh strainer that is located over the large bowl. You want to make sure none of the seeds get through to your end product, the cocktail!
Attempt #1: Fill your 2 tall glasses with lots of ice. Put 1 shot of jalapeno vodka into each glass. Pour the watermelon/strawberry strained mixture over the ice (should split pretty evenly between the two glasses). Get out a big spoon and stir to combine. Enjoy and hopefully your lips do not burn off of your face!

Attempt #2: Fill your 2 tall glasses with lots of ice. Put 1 shot of regular vodka into each glass. Pour the watermelon/strawberry strained mixture over the ice (should split pretty evenly between the two glasses). Get out 2 plastic straws and stir to combine. Enjoy and you will not have your lips burn off.

Joe and I tried #1 and although the drink tasted very refreshing at first, the after effects were too much to handle. So Josie and I tried #2 and thought this drink was super cool, refreshing, and most of all trendy. Let me know if you want to have any jalapeno vodka because I don't think we will be running out anytime soon!!
I'll pass on the jalapeno vodka but Eric might enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteTell Eric to come on over and we'll give him some!
