I love Bonefish Grill's watermelon martini. We don't go there very often, but in the summer we go just so I can get the watermelon martini! It's a vodka-based martini. Typically, I prefer gin but something about this is so light and fresh and just very summery! So, I looked up the recipe and luckily Bonefish shared this YouTube video on how to create the drink!
Here is the Bonefish recipe that I wrote out for you all. I made two last weekend (wild, I know!!) so I feel like now I have a handle on how I personally prefer this cocktail! I try to limit sugar in my drinks so I completely omitted the simple syrup and because of that, I muddled about 4 or 5 cubes (total) of watermelon to make up for the lost liquid. I also didn't have any cucumber vodka on hand which ended up being a good thing because I muddled a bunch of cucumber slices instead and it ended up tasting SO fresh.
The photo at the top of the post is Bonefish's and the photo above is my creation. I actually liked mine much more. It tasted fresher and a touch less sweet. This was SO easy to make. I think next time I make one I will try it with gin and see how it turns out! I also think you could do this with tequila, too, and pour over ice (maybe add in a splash of soda water) and sub lemon juice for lime juice for more of a margarita-style cocktail. Happy weekend, friends!
