I could use one of these. I will have to make some during the summer. It would be so refreshing!

This sounds delicious! I can't wait to try it.

I actually don't like watermelon but I love watermelon flavoured things, so I need to try it

This is such a good drink! I loved the watermelon in it and proportions are perfect. So good!

So glad you broke this down because it's my favorite summer drink!

I absolutely LOVE watermelon drinks. I never feel like there are enough options out there either. Thanks for adding to my collection of watermelon drinks!

This looks so delicious! I was just telling my husband how I enjoyed a good martini and he argued that he didn't like them much. Perhaps this recipe will change his mind!

OMG I MUST try these!! I juuuuust so happen to have a bottle of (unopened) vodka in the cabinet. Haha. AAaaand my husband always goes way overboard and we can never finish our watermelon in time. Soooo I guess I'll just HAVE to make this :P

My husband and I are always looking for a good watermelon cocktail for summer. This one is ok - but you never want to shake club soda in a shaker can, so points off for that. The drink was average, sad to say. Not a lot of watermelon flavor, but that is typical of all the watermelon cocktails we’ve tried.
