Nothing says summer quite like a big, juicy slice of watermelon! This Watermelon Vodka Fizz Cocktail is the perfect summer drink for watermelon lovers. It's a little sweet and so refreshing!
As soon as the first watermelons are available at the grocery store, I grab one at least weekly. There just isn't anything that compares to a fresh, juicy, sweet slice of watermelon in the summer. I recently decided to try watermelon in one my favorite cocktails, and it is pure summer perfection! So, grab a fresh watermelon and let's get this party started!
