Watermelon Gin Fizz
With summer just around the corner, a refreshing cocktail will be at the top of everyone’s list. Read on to learn how to make this tasty libation, and a few others.
I came up with this recipe from scratch, so just eyeball the amounts. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- Watermelon cubes (preferably seedless)
- Basil
- Fresh lime
- Hendricks Gin
- Ginger Ale
Keep all the ingredients in the fridge so they’re cold once you’re ready to use them. Puree the watermelon and basil together. Strain into a glass, then add a squeeze of lime, Hendricks Gin and top with Ginger Ale. Add a couple of ice cubes and stir. Garnish with basil leaf and a wedge of lime.
