Watermelon Martinis

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
watermelon-martini-recipe
Watermelon is one of the most refreshing flavors of the summer.  Ice cold juicy sweetness bursts in your mouth, washing away the summer heat {at least in the moment}!  Watermelon is my all-time favorite summer fruit.  I have loved it since I was a young child.  So when Gina posted this grown up recipe for watermelon martinis on her website, Gina's Skinny Recipes, I immediately bookmarked it to make.
I tweaked the recipe just a tiny bit by adding Splenda to the watermelon juice because I didn't pick the sweetest watermelon.  That's hard, you know.  I try thumping, knocking, and other recommendations for picking the best watermelon, but the truth is that it's always a toss-up for me.

These martinis were AWESOME!  They were so cold and refreshing, it was hard not to overdo it!  Plus, these are super low in calories…only 90 per martini!


You're gonna love Gina's Skinny Recipes…head on over and tell her I sent ya!
