In celebration for the end of the summer, I made this delicious Vodka Watermelon Cocktail! I’m a little excited that summer is coming to an end because I’m exhausted from the heat here in Chatsworth,CA.
So in honor of the end of summer, here’s a simple low calorie Vokda Watermelon Cocktail recipe! It’s the perfect drink to serve as our summer finale and only 136 calories. A win win any way you look at it!
My household is all about the watermelon and my daughter Aliyah is obsessed with making watermelon mint refresher. So what does a Mom like me do, well I make a cocktail out of the watermelon refresher. Haha, creative right? When it’s hot and humid, I’m fully supportive of her hydration methods beyond the traditional glass of water. And speaking of drinks…
Let’s talk about adult beverages for a moment. Haha! Our Watermelon Vodka Cocktail is another great way to serve up a fun drink for guests or use up the leftovers from any oversized melons you have on hand. This drink is refreshing, slightly sweet and surprisingly light. I don’t want to eat OR drink anything that feels heavy!
And apart from it tasting great, this cocktail has the ability to virtually transport me to a tropical location instantly. I literally take a sip of my Watermelon Vodka Cocktail and picture myself beachside relaxing and staring at the ocean. 😎
Hope you all had an awesome summer.
