Watermelon Drinks
 

I love watermelon! There is nothing better on a hot Louisiana summer day than cold watermelon. 
Here are some drinks that are good for when you buy a huge watermelon and have so much left over! 

Watermelon Pineapple Spritzer- Non-Alcoholic
Ingredients: 
1 cup diced pineapple
2 cup diced watermelon- seeds picked out
1/2 lemon juiced
4-6 tbsp sparkling water

Directions: 
Blend all ingredients together, except sparkling water
Add sparkling water before serving

Watermelon Amaretto 
Ingredients: Makes 1 drink
1/2 cup watermelon juice
2 tbsp Amaretto
Add together and shake up 

Orange Watermelon Gin
Ingredients: Makes 2 drinks
6 tbsp Gin
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup water melon juice
6 tbsp simple syrup (boil equal parts water to sugar) 
Mix all ingredients together and shake up
Serve over ice or frozen watermelon cubes

Bonus: 
Cube up any left over watermelon rinds and freeze them in a freezer safe storage bag. It keeps your drinks cool without watering them down!
