This watermelon cosmopolitan is a bit labor intensive as you have to cut, blend and strain a watermelon to get to all that wonderful juice. That said, if you have a long holiday weekend like I did, it is a delicious, light and refreshing spin on a cosmo!
Since there are just two of us and I had 4 cups of juice, I halved the recipe and then saved the extra 2 cups of juice. I loved having it in watermelon spritzers. I just added mint, sparkling water and ice and enjoyed those all week.

Watermelon Cosmopolitans
Go to Dinners – Serves 4
- 4 cups (3/4-inch) diced red watermelon
- 6 ounces good vodka, such as Grey Goose
- 3 ounces Cointreau or triple sec
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
- 4 large mint sprigs, for garnish
Place four martini glasses in the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes.
Place a food mill fitted with the largest disk over a bowl. Add the watermelon and pass it throw the mill; you should end up with about 2 cups of watermelon juice. Pour into a pitcher and discard the seeds and pulp. Stir in the vodka, Cointreau, and lime juice.
Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice, pour in the cocktail mixture, and shake for a full 30 seconds. Pour into the chilled martini glasses and garnish each glass with a sprig of mint. Serve ice cold.
Cheers!
