Watermelon Vodka Fresca
Vodka and watermelon. An almost perfect summer combination. Add in a little fresh mint and a touch more sweetness and you’ll absolutely love this mixed drink. Ingredients are for a pitcher because you’ll want to share this with friends. And if you like something with a little more ‘bite,’ use pepper vodka.

- 6 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
