In honor of the new title of my blog, I’ve decided to feature a different cocktail each month! This month’s is a Watermelon Martini. Last weekend I hosted a small dinner party for my sister’s family and a friend. I thought watermelon would be a great easy side dish. OK, the real reason was so I could use this awesome watermelon bowl I picked up ages ago. Needless to say we had a ton of watermelon left over. I noticed all this juice collecting in the bottom of the bowl and figured there must be some drink that calls for watermelon juice and of course there is.I started with this recipe from allrecipes.com, but I didn’t have the right ingredients (namely watermelon schnapps), so I improvised and used peach schnapps instead. I also added twice as much alchohol by accident (whoopsie!). I confused tablespoons with ounces, and this was even before I had a sip, so I have no excuses. Sigh….However, we ended up loving what I concocted. How could we not? So here is my version:
Peachy Watermelon Martini
(This is not a low-FODMAP recipe)
white sugar, as needed
1/2 cup watermelon juice
1/4 cup vodka
1/4 cup peach schnapps
2 Tbsp. simple syrup
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1. Moisten the rim of 2 martini glasses with piece of watermelon. Place sugar on a plate and dip each glass into the sugar.
2. Pour the watermelon juice, vodka, peach schnapps, simple syrup, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake well. Strain into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a piece of watermelon and lemon or lime slices.
