The Perfect Cocktail Recipe to Celebrate National Watermelon Day on August 3rd. Who loves watermelon? I do!!!
National Watermelon Day couldn’t come at a better time. For most of the country, it’s just way too hot out there. Fresh slices of watermelon are always good, but don’t relegate this large fruit to simple slices. Cabo Flats Cantina & Tequila Bar has authored a watermeloniscious cocktail for everyone (21 and over) to enjoy.
The recipe for Cabo Flats‘ Watermelon Mint Martini is below.
2 oz. Ketel One Vodka
5 Fresh Muddled Watermelon Cubes
1 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 oz. Simple Syrup
5 Fresh Picked Mint Leaves
Directions: Shake vigorously 20 times with ice. Strained and served in a Martini Glass with a Mint Leaf Floating.

I liked this recipe on the SNB blog and that hasn’t changed. It is perfect for Watermelon day and I think I would use even more frozen cubes in my drink.
Delicious! I have a friend who calls watermelon the nectar of the gods, and I’d love to make this drink for him. Thanks for the recipe.
This is so good, I make almost the same thing with frozen peaches that I keep (then just grab some mint)
Watermelon is refreshing and tasty. The mint sounds like a nice addition, too. National watermelon day! Watermelon is the official state vegetable of Oklahoma,too.
