Watermelon Martini

Ingredients:

-1/4 cup water

-1/4 sugar syrup

-8 cups diced watermelon

-1/4 cup fresh lime juice

-1 1/4 cups of vodka

-2 cups of crushed ice

Directions:

In a blender, add the watermelon, the sugar syrup, the lime juice and the tequila. Strain the liquid to obtain only the liquid. Refrigerate for about 2 hours. Serve together with the crushed ice.

Once done you can pour the different fruit cocktails into transparent cups, I used some martini transparent plastic glasses as you can see on the pictures. Create your own decorations with fruits to add to the cups or even print some of them.

Finally you can also decorate the rims of the glasses with salt and sugar. Just mix a bit of sugar and salt in a small bowl, and pour onto a small, shallow plate. Moisten the rims of the glasses with the juice of a lime, and dip the moistened glass rims into the salt and sugar mixture.

For the fruit decorations, you can take some of the leaves of the pineapple used for the pina colada and a piece of fruit (watermelon, strawberry, pineapple or a slice of lemon) as seen on the picture and put them into a toothpick, you can also add some paper fruits toothpicks, umbrella toothpicks or custom made themed paper toppers, also used for cupcakes.
