It is so hot out! It is hard to actually get dressed and leave the house some days! The summer heat has been brutal.
However, that means when it cools down in the evening, and the breeze starts up, it is the perfect time to whip up a cocktail and enjoy it. Invite the neighbor or two and make a fun evening of it.
These two easy to prepare cocktail recipes are just the ticket! Refreshing and simple!
2 Refreshing Cocktail Recipes for Hot Summer Nights
Watermelon Slush Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
3 oz Gray Whale Gin
1 medium seedless watermelon
4 oz honey
Directions:
Cut the watermelon in half, carve out the fruit and place it in a bowl. Keep the rind to use as a delicious punch bowl. To keep your melon bowl upright, turn it upside down and carve a small, flat, slice out the very bottom – be careful not to cut too deep and pierce the bottom of the bowl.
In a blender, add your watermelon pulp, honey and a moderate amount of ice. For best results we recommend freezing your watermelon pulp before blending and using a moderate amount of ice to avoid a watery drink. Serve in a melon bowl and enjoy!
