Watermelon Martini

627

This week we savored our first local watermelon of the season. It was incredibly juicy and sweet. We ate a good portion of it just standing at the kitchen counter cutting piece after piece. It’s a wonder we didn’t eat the entire thing within the first couple of days.

There are so many fun things to make with watermelon – watermelon and tomato salad, watermelon with herbed ricotta, popsicles, and yes, cocktails!

After this week’s many early morning wake-ups and long work days, I believe we’ve earned a little reward. We will finish our local watermelon in a nice adult beverage to usher in a relaxing weekend at home.
