Watermelon Tilt
A light and refreshing summer cocktail
Ingredients:
1 small personal watermelon
2 cups watermelon juice made from pulp of watermelon
2 cups white grape juice
4 jiggers vodka or orange vodka
Directions:
Cut the top off the watermelon (similar to cutting to off of a pumpkin) and retain top. Remove pulp of watermelon and place in blender or food processor. Set hollowed watermelon into a bowl of ice. Puree or chop the pulp until liquefied. Strain pulp through a very fine mesh colander or cheese cloth. Measure 2 cups watermelon juice, 2 cups white grape juice and 4 jiggers of vodka and pour into watermelon. Poke two holes into lid and insert straw. Enjoy.
This recipe can be increased to make enough for a party by using one large watermelon, 4 cups watermelon juice, 4 cups white grape juice, and 8 jiggers of vodka. Repeat until watermelon is full.
What is a jigger? Using a glass shot glass pour liquid to brim of glass (past the line.) The line on the glass is a shot, or 1 oz of fluid. To the top of the glass is 2 ounces of fluid. If using a cone shaped metal measuring tool, use the big end. The big end of a metal measuring tool is usually only 1.5 fluid ounces, so taste your concoction to make sure you have enough liquor.
