Great drink, fun to make and to share with friends. Surprisingly light and almost too easy to drink.

We were served this drink at a 4th of July Party, and it was so delicious and refreshing. Our hostess may have added more liquor than is called for in the recipe, but I would absolutely make this again and I'm pretty sure the ice cubes would keep awhile in the freezer so you could make extra for future use!

We would rather have a light wine instead of the vodka. Anyone try a substitute or have a suggested chilled wine to use? It is watermelon season again!
