Notes
I’ve found that using fresh watermelon instead of store-bought watermelon juice really makes a difference in the taste and freshness of the drink. It’s all about bringing that bright, summery flavor to the forefront.
If you’re preparing this for a crowd, you can easily make a large batch of the watermelon juice ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just mix in the vodka and lime juice when you’re ready to serve.
