Watermelon and Citrus Summer Cocktail

Best Summer Cocktail Recipe - Made with watermelon, orange juice, lime, and vodka!

It’s been a heck of year and we think you deserve a drink! If a super refreshing summer cocktail recipe is something that interests you, then you’re in the right place. We went ahead and found the perfect combination of fresh watermelon juice, orange juice, lime juice, and of course Vodka, to make one of the best summer cocktails we’ve ever had. This recipe is very easy, but with a few fun twists that take it to the next level. Oh, and certainly feel free to leave out the vodka if you want a delicious mocktail in the form of the ultimate fruit punch.
