Categories     Champagne     Alcoholic     Cocktail Party     Watermelon     Mint     Summer     Shower     Engagement Party     Party     Self     Drink

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups seedless watermelon cubes
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, crushed
1/2 cup vanilla-infused vodka, chilled
1/4 cup triple sec
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 2/3 cups Champagne (or sparkling wine), chilled
Watermelon cubes and lime slices

Steps:

  • Process watermelon cubes in a blender on high until smooth. Strain. Measure out 2 cups juice. Add mint. Stir; chill 30 minutes. Add vodka, triple sec, lime juice and 1 cup ice; stir vigorously. Remove mint leaves. Fill glasses with ice and pour 1/3 cup watermelon mixture into each. Gently stir in 1/3 cup Champagne. Garnish with watermelon cubes and lime slices.

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe and juicy watermelon: The quality of your watermelon will greatly impact the flavor of your cocktail. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, has a deep red color, and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
  • Chill the watermelon and champagne: Chilling the watermelon and champagne before making the cocktail will help to create a refreshing and flavorful drink. You can chill the watermelon in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, and the champagne in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint adds a refreshing and aromatic flavor to the cocktail. If you don't have fresh mint on hand, you can substitute dried mint, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overdo the simple syrup: Simple syrup is used to sweeten the cocktail, but it's important not to add too much. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Garnish with a watermelon wedge and mint sprig: A watermelon wedge and mint sprig make a beautiful and festive garnish for the cocktail.
