Notes
Substitutions and add-ons
- Club soda or soda water: If you're looking to lighten up the cocktail and add a sparkling touch, club soda is your go-to add-on. Simply pour in a splash or two of club soda to create a bubbly sensation.
- Fresh mint: Muddle a few mint leaves in the glass before adding the other ingredients, or garnish your drink with a sprig of mint. The aromatic and cooling qualities of mint complement the watermelon and vodka, adding a hint of herbal freshness
- White rum: Replace the vodka with white rum to infuse a Caribbean twist into your cocktail. The rum's slightly sweet and smooth character adds depth and complexity, changing the overall taste experience.
- Watermelon cubes: Instead of relying solely on watermelon juice, toss a few juicy watermelon cubes directly into the drink. They'll act as sweet and refreshing surprises as you sip, adding an extra burst of natural flavor and texture.
