Watermelon Limoncello Cocktail

Sunday, July 22, 2012
An idea my son had while he was visiting. His thoughts were since I love watermelon to make a Watermelon Limoncello Cocktail. This is a refreshing drink and since I was ailing with a backache the alcohol sounded too good to pass up. He went out bought all the ingredients and we made this one together. The best of both worlds, it taste great with or without alcohol so you can make it either way! Just substitute lemonade for the alcohol!

Chad had a great idea, this was so refreshing it was hard to stop at one!  Of course my backache felt a little better after the drink too!

CELEBRATE SUMMER WITH A COCKTAIL!




What better way to kick off summer than with a cocktail made with watermelon. It just shouts summer!


This Watermelon Limoncello Cocktail is great with or without alcohol.


All the fruits are fresh and bursting with a fresh ray of sunshine to cool you off on a hot summers day!

Fresh Fruit So Tropical Looking!




I just love to add a fresh fruit kabob to top of this delicious refreshing drink, it make this drink so tropical looking.


There are times in the winter, I sit back and make this refreshing drink so it sends me to a warm place in my mind.


Watermelon is so refreshing and it's low fat, low carb and making this it without the alcohol even healthy!


Take your pick of making this awesome drink either way. It's not only refreshing, it's delicious!

Refreshing Summer Drink!



Great for serving guests or at parties.


I like to make this drink by making several at a time and put in a punch bowl with fruit on top for a party.


A great one for the 4th of July and any summer picnic party.


Just need to leave out the alcohol for the kids.
