Notes

*Nutritional Information is slightly off as the software didn't have information on watermelon vodka or watermelon juice.

You can make this cocktail with regular vodka if you can't find or don't want to buy the watermelon infusion.

I found watermelon juice in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. You can also make your own by blending fresh watermelon and straining out the pulp.

You can also make this with a watermelon simple syrup (that you can make yourself) or buy a flavored syrup like Torani or Monin. In this case, you would skip adding the plain simple syrup.

You can also add a splash of Watermelon Schnapps (if you can find that!) when using plain vodka.

Tip: Always taste your cocktail before straining it into the glass that way you can adjust things and make it your own. Need more sweetener? No problem, make it how you like it!
