Ingredients
  

  • 7 ounces watermelon chunks not including the rind—see note if no scale
  • 1-2 Tablespoons sugar or equivalent sweetener
  • 1 ½ ounces vodka or orange juice for mocktail
  • 1 ½ ounces Cointreau or orange juice for mocktail
  • 1 ounce lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Make the watermelon syrup. Puree about 7 ounces (by weight) of watermelon chunks with 1-2 Tablespoons of sugar (depending your sweetness preferences). Let the blender run a minute to make sure the sugar is dissolved. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to get ¾ cup of watermelon syrup.
  • Juice the lime.
  • Put the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and add ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker is cold and starting to sweat.
  • Strain into two martini glasses and garnish as desired.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If you don't have a scale, you can approximate then measure out 3/4 cup of juice after straining.
