Watermelon Cocktail
Send the kids back to the kitchen to put the dishes away; it’s time to bask in the last rays of the days’ sunshine and sip on this cooling drink. This recipe was brought to you by drink-deserving mom-of-two Jamie Cantor Ginsburg. Go ahead and juice the entire watermelon- a small one will yield about 40 ounces of juice- and give all but 16 ounces of the stuff to the young ones.

Instructions
- Juice the watermelon and set 16 ounces aside. Mix with line, soda water and vodka and serve cold. Avoid adding ice; it’ll water the drink down.
