FRIDAY COCKTAIL - MAINE WATERMELON CHILLER PUNCH!!!!

In less than 24 hours the first of many Maine "vacationland" fun weeks begins.  Family and friends will be together for beach time, food time and of course COCKTAIL time.  Having lived all across America at some point, I can atest that the BEST watermelon EVA is in the state of Maine.

So, fitting that the Hartstone Inn in Camden, Maine has this beauty as their signature cocktail.  It can be made as a punch or single servings.

Ingredients:

One Maine Watermelon (6 lbs)
12 oz Vodka
12 oz Lemon Lime Soda
1/4 cup fresh Lime Juice
garnish with watermelon slice, lime wedge or green apple slice

Scoop out watermelon, puree it and strain into a punch bowl with ice.  Stir in vodka, soda and juice.  Then garnish as you will.

For single servings, prepare the mix the same but don't add the soda until you are ready to drink.  The ratio should be 2/3 watermelon, vodka-juice mix to 1/3 soda mix.

THE WAY LIFE SHOULD BE!
ENJOY!
