Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer has shared another wonderful recipe with us via 52 Thursdays. This one you definitely won’t be able to resist trying. I’m in love with the idea of using fresh blended watermelon and serving it up in the skin. Brilliant! I’m now sitting here wondering if 10am is too early to try this out? It’s really just a smoothie right? I think I can justify this in the morning because it’s totally healthy (wink wink).

Blend well until watermelon is pureed.
Strain over strainer into container if you do not like pulp.
Save juice and discard pulp.
Combine watermelon juice, lime juice and vodka into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
