WATERMELON VODKA TONIC INGREDIENTS: WHAT YOU NEED

This recipe handily offers all of the ingredients you’ll need right there in the title! This refreshing beverage could not be easier to make, and it’ll make you all kinds of friends this summer.

  • First up: watermelon . For two cocktails you will need about four ounces of juice, which will take about a cup of cubed watermelon. Just blend and strain to get your luscious juice.
  • Next, vodka . If you prefer a sweeter drink (hello!) try Eddy’s Lemon Vodka. It is delish! You could also use it in this Pink Lemonade Vodka Punch . For a little less sweetness, use citrus or even regular vodka. No matter what, the watermelon will take center stage and taste wonderful!
  • Finally, tonic water . To keep calories lower on this recipe I used diet tonic and it’s perfect! Try it in this Cherry Lime Vodka Tonic .
