Everyone loves a cocktail that is crisp, refreshing, and oh so delicious. Watermelon Mint Vodka Splash is like that friend you’re always happy to see. It brings good vibes to an occasion!
The best part of sipping this cocktail? It delivers a light fruity flavor without that overpowering syrupy after-taste you get from cocktail recipes made with high sugar mixes. Smirnoff’s Zero Sugar Watermelon & Mint Vodka is infused with natural flavors and it’s gluten-free. It’s easy-drinking, so let this be your warning.
I grow fresh mint in my raised garden bed during spring and summer, so I always have it on hand for recipes like this one. Why not save money on buying herbs by growing them yourself? Consider ordering mint plant seeds online to add to your herb garden or a container pot for a sunny spot on your deck. Mint is a hardy plant that will continue to produce new leaves as long as you pinch it back now and then.
When you want to mix a cocktail for an afternoon by the pool or you’ve got your toes in the sand by the lake, Watermelon Mint Vodka Splash is your go-to drink. Oh, and consider the possibilities of blending the watermelon and ice together and then adding the rest of the ingredients. Irresistible!
If you’re ready to mix this cocktail recipe, you may also appreciate my recipe for its cousin cocktail, Cucumber Lime Vodka Splash. It’s the MOST POPULAR recipe on my blog hands-down. Grab a couple of glasses and make each one! Die-hard watermelon fans in search of bonus recipes also love my recipes for Watermelon Berry Slushie, Watermelon Blueberry Feta Salad with Mint, and Spiked Watermelon Lemon-Lime Cocktail.

Notes
You could swap another flavor of sparkling water for a variation on this recipe.
After blending the cantaloupe until very smooth, pour it into a cocktail shaker and add the tequila, lime juice, lemonade, honey, and sugar. Shake and strain into ice-filled glasses rimmed pre-rimmed with lime juice and kosher salt. If you want to garnish each glass with more cantaloupe, use a melon baller to form several circular pieces of melon and skewer them with a toothpick. I added fresh mint and a wedge of lime for added color. One look at your finished cocktail, and you’ll quickly take a sip – it’s refreshing and delicious!
