Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Watermelon Vodka Martini.
Step 1
Start by setting aside a few delightful watermelon chunks for garnish.
Step 2
Next, grab your juicer and extract the juice from the remaining watermelon pieces.
Step 3
Measure out half a cup of this refreshing juice and keep 3 ounces aside for later.
Step 4
Don’t forget to save any extra juice for a future treat! In a saucepan, mix together the half cup of fresh watermelon juice, coconut sugar, and a splash of water.
Step 5
Heat this mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
Step 6
Once it’s bubbling away, take it off the heat and let your watermelon-infused simple syrup cool for about 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with a sweet aroma.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to shake things up! In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, the reserved 3 ounces of watermelon juice, 1 ounce of your cooled simple syrup, and a splash of zesty fresh lime juice.
Step 8
Fill the shaker with ice and give it a good shake until everything is nicely chilled.
Step 9
For a fun twist, pour some Tajin® seasoning onto a small plate.
Step 10
Moisten the rim of your martini glasses with the lime juice you just squeezed, then roll the rims in the Tajin® to create a flavorful coating.
Step 11
Finally, pour your vibrant cocktail mixture into the prepared glasses and crown each drink with the reserved watermelon chunks.
Step 12
Cheers to a refreshing and delicious experience!.
