She was thinking watermelon and lime, so I came up with a couple of options. We had a lot of fun\u00a0testing both and discussing world issues. (Okay, we\u00a0may have been gossiping.)<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find our favorite recipe on her blog, a\u00a0Vodka Limeade with Watermelon Ice Cubes, which is pretty delicious. The watermelon ice cubes are so fun and would be great in a non-alcoholic version if that&#8217;s your thing. I think kids would love them in lemonade.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Vodka Limeade was our favorite drink,\u00a0it didn&#8217;t seem right to keep the second recipe to ourselves, because it was also pretty tasty. This one uses\u00a0the same ingredients, but in a different way.\u00a0So, you could also try both this weekend and choose your own favorite. No judgement here.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watermelon &amp; Lime Cocktail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Serves 4<\/em><\/p>\n<p>3 cups of cubed watermelon<\/p>\n<p>1 c. sugar<\/p>\n<p>1 c. water<\/p>\n<p>2\u00a0sprigs of mint<\/p>\n<p>2 c. lime Perrier<\/p>\n<p>2 jiggers vodka<\/p>\n<p>In a blender, puree the cubed watermelon until smooth. Meanwhile, combine 1 c. water with 1 c. sugar in a small saucepan over medium low heat until dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Let it steep for several minutes. When it has cooled, add 1 c. of the simple syrup to the watermelon. You can add more or less depending on how sweet your watermelon is. Ours wasn&#8217;t very sweet, so we added the full cup, so definitely taste this as you go. Next, stir in 2 c. lime Perrier and 2 jiggers of vodka. Feel free to adjust all of these measurements to suit your tastes. Then, serve over ice and enjoy.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.missalaneyus.com%2Fwordpress4&#038;t=Happy%20Hour%3A%20Watermelon%20%26%20Lime%20Cocktail&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.missalaneyus.com%2Fwordpress4&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Happy%20Hour%3A%20Watermelon%20%26%20Lime%20Cocktail\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.missalaneyus.com\/wordpress4\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.missalaneyus.com%2Fwordpress4&#038;text=Missalaneyus%3A\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.missalaneyus.com\/wordpress4\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox\" data-provider=\"pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.missalaneyus.com%2Fwordpress4&#038;media=&#038;description=Happy%20Hour%3A%20Watermelon%20%26%20Lime%20Cocktail\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinterest\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.missalaneyus.com\/wordpress4\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/pinterest.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Happy%20Hour%3A%20Watermelon%20%26%20Lime%20Cocktail&#038;body=Missalaneyus%3A:%20http%3A%2F%2Fwww.missalaneyus.com%2Fwordpress4\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.missalaneyus.com\/wordpress4\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miss Megan asked me to come up with a cocktail recipe for her blog, Crazybananas.
