The martini was yummy & fairly easy to make. I didn't use seltzer water & also used Skinny Girl Vodka (Bare Naked. I will definitely make this when hosting my next party.

I will probably not do this again. I might use different fruit? I put too much of the citrus Vodka ( ounce and a half and it was getting to me. I agree if I have left over watermelon, then will do it again, Worth trying at least once.
