Hello, my friends!! If you love fruity cocktails you are going to LOVE this recipe.

This Watermelon Summer Splash cocktail is perfect for those hot days when you want to enjoy refreshing adult beverages out in the sunshine. It’s flavorful and refreshing, which makes it a great way to cap off a long day in the sun! After all, what is warm weather without a cool drink in your hand… right?

Watermelon is one of my most favorite summertime things in the world and Moscato is my absolute favorite wine. So, this is pretty much my dream cocktail.

It is sweet, fruity, and summery!

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

I used Sutter Home Moscato to make this delicious cocktail! Of course, I couldn’t forget my Latino roots so I also added a splash of Tequila … the perfect kick!!!

HOW TO MAKE A WATERMELON COCKTAIL

Did I mention that this cocktail is a breeze to make?

This recipe is for a single serving made in a shaker but can scale up the recipe to make a whole pitcher. Basically, all you do is mix everything together, shake or stir with some ice, and voilà! So, the greatest effort will be going to buy fruit, LOL.

Servings 2 cocktails

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For 2 cocktails:

• 3 oz tequila
• 6 oz Moscato wine
• 1/2 cup (120 ML) fresh watermelon juice (see notes)
• 3 teaspoons simple syrup (see notes)
• Ice

For a Pitcher:

• 1 bottle (750 ml) Moscato wine
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) Tequila
• 2 cups (480 ml) watermelon juice (see notes)
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) simple syrup (see notes)
• Ice

To Garnish (optional):

• Slices of Lime
• Watermelon Balls
• Kosher or Himalayan salt for rimming the glass (I used Himalayan salt )

Instructions

 

Make Two Cocktails:

• Add tequila, Moscato, watermelon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice; shake well. NOTE: Taste, and if you would like it to be sweeter, stir in 1/2 teaspoon more of simple syrup until the mix reaches your desired level of sweetness. 
• Shake and strain into glasses.
• Serve immediately, garnished with lime slices and watermelon balls, if desired.

Make a Pitcher:

• Place the Moscato, tequila, watermelon juice, simple syrup, and ice in a large pitcher, and stir to combine. Add lime slices and watermelon balls, if desired. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow for some of the ice to melt and mellow the cocktail. NOTE: Taste, and if you would like it to be sweeter, stir in more of simple syrup until the mix reaches your desired level of sweetness. 
• Pour into glasses, adding more ice from the pitcher to each glass as needed. Scoop a couple of lime slices and watermelon balls into each glass when serving.

Oriana’s Notes

 

HOW TO MAKE WATERMELON JUICE:

1. Cut the watermelon into chunks removing the rind and seeds. Place the chunks into a bowl and let them cool in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
2. In a blender, place watermelon and blend until smooth.

 

HOW TO MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP:

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil; simmer until the sugar is dissolved, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Simple syrup will keep refrigerated for about a month.

 

WATERMELON BALLS: To make the watermelon balls insert the melon baller into the watermelon flesh. Rotate the baller around to get a sphere of watermelon and pop it into a bowl

 

To rim the glass with salt, just rub the outside rim of the glass with a cut lime and dip the glass lightly into a plate of kosher salt.
