Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 small chunks fresh watermelon
  • 1-1/2 ounces vodka
  • 3/4 ounce limoncello
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • Splash of soda
  • Lemon wheel for garnish

Instructions

  • Muddle the watermelon in a mixing glass.
  • Add the vodka, limoncello, lemon juice, and simple syrup and fill with ice.
  • Shake vigorously to blend and strain into an ice filled Collins glass.
  • Top with a splash of soda and garnish with a lemon wheel.

Notes

  • Muddle in a stainless cocktail shaker or sturdy mixing glass that won't crack or chip when you apply pressure.
  • When muddling watermelon, feel free to use a little bit of force. You want to release all the juices, so apply firm pressure and muddle away!
