Make the Watermelon Juice:
Begin by preparing fresh watermelon juice. Take a ¼ of a whole watermelon, cut it into chunks, and place it into a blender. Blend until smooth. After blending, strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove the pulp, leaving behind the pure watermelon juice. -
Prepare the Cocktail:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the freshly made watermelon juice, vodka, and triple sec. Add a few cubes of ice to the shaker, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds, ensuring that the mixture is well-chilled and the flavors have combined. -
Strain and Serve:
Using a strainer, pour the cocktail mixture into two large, chilled martini glasses. This ensures a smooth, crystal-clear drink free of any ice shards. -
Garnish and Enjoy:
For an extra touch of elegance, garnish your Watermelon Cosmo with a melon ball made from green melon or another fruit of your choice. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer in a glass!
Additional Notes:
- Watermelon Juice Tip: If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can blend more watermelon to make extra juice, or even add a splash of simple syrup to taste.
- For a Touch of Zest: You can also garnish with a thin slice of lime or a mint leaf for an aromatic twist.
