With 4th of July right around the corner, I wanted to dedicate this weeks #SipsWithSami to the upcoming holiday. There is no better way to celebrate the 4th than with a nice refreshing cocktail, or 5… so this week I opted for something fruity again, a Vodka Watermelon Cooler. It’s simple, refreshing, and so delicious. The perfect drink to make for a hot day by the pool or to serve at a BBQ you’re hosting 🙂
Vodka Watermelon Cooler:
Total Time: 15-20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 8 cups of fresh watermelon cubed (I prefer to use seedless watermelon to avoid straining the juice)
- 2 tbsp of lime juice
- 3 tbsp of honey
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of vodka (add more or less to adjust to your preferences)
- Mint leaves and watermelon slices for garnish
Instructions:
- In a blender, add watermelon, lime juice, honey, and water and blend until pureed
- *Optional step* pour mixture through a mesh strainer to remove pulp and seeds
- Add Vodka and stir
- Pour over ice and garnish with mint leaves and watermelon slices
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Super easy and quick to make, plus it looks pretty and tastes delicious! The perfect combo. Hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July holiday! Xo, Sami

Not being much of a vodka drinker, that won’t stop me from trying this with tequila or rum instead. What a refreshing drink for the summer heat!

I love my mocktails with fruit and watermelon coolers are one of my favorites. Back in the days when I still drank alcohol I loved the combination of vodka and watermelon, but nowadays the watermelon alone is fine for me 🙂
