Drink of the Week: Watermelon Cooler

Summer’s here and the watermelon’s are ripe for the picking! This is a yummy way to infuse color into your signature cocktails at your wedding or just to enjoy on a hot summer day

What You’ll Need:

• 3 pounds watermelon, rind and seedsdiscarded and the flesh cut into pieces,plus thin slices of watermelon for garnish
• 1/2 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup Triple Sec
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• In a blender purée the watermelon pieces and strain the purée through a very fine sieve set over a pitcher, discarding the solids. (There should be about 2-1/3 cups juice). Stir in the vodka, the Triple Sec, and the lime juice, pour the cooler into long-stemmed glasses filled with ice cubes, and garnish each drink with a watermelon slice.
