Hey, Reader!

I'm convinced that picking the perfect watermelon is a super power many would be envious of. I know I would be! After all, a ripe watermelon adds just the right amount of sweetness to your summer table — and your drinks.

If you haven't considered watermelon as an ingredient for your cocktails, now is the time. You can craft a watermelon simple syrup for more concentrated flavor or muddle it for a low-effort addition. The possibilities are endless!

It doesn't get better than a big batch drink when you're entertaining! Watermelon sangria transforms the favorite wine cocktail for summer with the addition of the sweet melon.

watermelon lemonade

Watermelon lemonade is the perfect addition to any summer celebration. To easily transform it into a cocktail, add a splash of vodka like in the vodka lemonade drink.

When I'm picking a watermelon, I look for one that's heavy with a matte skin. I also knock on it, but truth be told I'm not always sure what to listen for. If you have tips on getting the best melon in the patch, send them my way!

Cheers!
