Say cheers to summer with a refreshing cocktail that uses two of the season's favorite fruits -- strawberries and watermelon.
When Society Cafe executive chef Manuel González Charles told "Good Morning America" about this cocktail he created during the height of the pandemic, we had to get the recipe.
Makes: 5-6 quarts
Ingredients
6 cups seedless watermelon
1.5 pounds fresh strawberries
1.5 bottle of rose wine
1.5 cups vodka
1.5 cups cointreau orange liqueur
2 cups fresh OJ
1 orange (sliced)
3 limes (sliced)
10 sprigs mint
Directions
Puree the watermelon and strawberries in a blender, then strain through a fine chinois. Squeeze oranges and strain to make the OJ. Combine the rest of the ingredients. Let sit overnight. Use watermelon slices and mint as garnish.
