½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approx. 4 lemons)
5 to 6 cups of watermelon, cubed
2 sprigs of mint
Optional: Vodka
Instructions
In a pot on high heat, bring sugar and water to a light boil until the sugar is dissolved and your mixture is clear. Turn off the heat and toss in the sprigs of mint. Allow mint to steep for 15 minutes, then remove it from your simple syrup and discard sprigs. Allow mint-infused syrup to cool for about 10 minutes and then pour into a blender with the watermelon. Blend until smooth and then strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher to get rid of any unwanted seeds or pulp. Add lemon juice to the pitcher and stir.
Serve as is over ice, with mint as a garnish or add to a glass of ice filled with 2 ounces of vodka.
1 cup blackberries (or other berries of your choice)
1 cup sugar
2 cups of water
For the cocktail:
Silver Tequila
Topo Chico
For the garnish:
mint, lime and fresh blackberries
Instructions
Add the berries, sugar and water to a small sauce pan and simmer on medium, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes and mashing the blackberries to get all the color and flavor out.
Strain and pour into a glass bottle with tight fitting lid.
Mix your desired amount of tequila, Topo Chico, and simple syrup (suggest 1/3 of each) and pour over ice.
