Description
Watermelon and parsley? Oddly enough, they are a great match and the featured ​ingredients in this fun and refreshing summer punch with viroc vodka. It may be the parsley that throws you off, but it really does work.
Ingredients
1 slice watermelon
5 parsley leaves
1 1/2 ounces vodka (Ciroc)
3/4 ounce lemon juice
3/4 ounce agave nectar
Splash of sparkling pink lemonade
Garnish: seasonal fruits
Directions
Gather the ingredients.
Muddle the watermelon and parsley in a cocktail shaker.
Add remaining ingredients and ice, and shake well.
Double strain into an ice-filled collins glass that is half-rimmed with sugar.
Top with sparkling pink lemonade and garnish with assorted fruits.
Serve and enjoy!
TIPS:
The average pitcher holds just over 60 ounces and you want to leave room for ice. In this case, begin by muddling 3 large slices of watermelon (or enough to get 1 cup of juice) with about 1/4 cup of parsley leaves. Let the herb steep in the fruit juice for about 1 hour. Strain the fruit and herb pieces from the juice and pour it into a pitcher. Add 1 1/2 cups of vodka along with 3/4 cup each lemon juice and agave nectar. Just before serving, fill the pitcher with ice, then top with sparkling pink lemonade. Stir the drink and give it a taste. Add more agave nectar or one of the juices to taste.
