Fire Melontini
Ingredients:
2-3 chunks of fresh watermelon, muddled
1 shot fresh lemon juice
½ shot simple syrup
1 shot Savor Spear® Vodka
dash of firewater bitters
Tajín seasoning
For an extra kick in any cocktail, keep firewater bitters in your home bar.
Instructions:
1. Rim a martini glass with Tajín seasoning. To do this, rub a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of Tajín seasoning to coat evenly.
2. In a large shaker, muddle 2-3 chunks of fresh watermelon until they are well crushed and release their juice.
3. Add fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, Savor Spear® Vodka, and a dash of firewater bitters to the shaker.
4. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients thoroughly.
5. Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass, ensuring no watermelon pulp gets into the drink.
6. Savor your refreshing and spicy Fire Melontini!
My family has been running bars in Seattle for over 65 years, so cocktails are in our DNA. This is the perfect drink for the 4th of July - easy to make, which is great because we’re all busy.
