Tuesday Toast: Watermelon-Mint Cocktail

Maybe you're in need of a mid-week cocktail hour, maybe its grocery shopping for cocktail hour, I want to make sure you're prepared with the weekly Tuesday Toast. One of my favorite things about summertime?  It's finally watermelon season again. St-Germain had me at hello during Savor Dallas, so let's mix it up with some watermelon for a summertime sipping cocktail.

 

 

A Taste of Summer: 

• 1.5 ounces vodka
• 1 ounce St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
• 2 ounces watermelon juice (purée 3 slices of watermelon without rind in a blender)
• 5 mint leaves
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
• 2 teaspoons of white sugar (or 1/2 ounce agave nectar)
• 1 watermelon slice for garnish
• 1 mint leaf for garnish

• Pour ingredients into shaker with ice, cover, and shake well for 10 seconds. 
• Pour into a tall glass.
• Garnish with watermelon and mint.

Cheers.
