Recipe
Ingredients:
250ml BWG Watermelon Punch
30ml Cranberry vodka
15ml Simple syrup
15ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preparation:
Add some ice and all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker.
Shake well for 30 seconds until chilled.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Add a thin slice of lemon to the rim.
Recipe Notes
Wiping a lime wedge around the rim of your glass adds a refreshing tartness that's really nice as well.
Watermelon is sweet, so if you find that this recipe is too sweet you can always cut back or eliminate the simple syrup.
Another way to reduce the sweetness is to switch from red to white cranberry juice. The lighter juice (it's actually similar in color to apple juice) offers a more refreshing taste while maintaining the cranberry flavor.
Try this cocktail with another flavoured vodka. Any citrus vodka would be a nice complement to the other fruits. You can also try cucumber vodka, as that flavor is an excellent match for watermelon.
