The Watermelon Daiquiri is the absolute perfect cocktail for summertime enjoyment! Easy to prepare and oh so good, you’ll love this one.
Watermelon Daiquiri
Summer is looming (I promise those of you with snow and cold – it IS coming). You have to have some fun summery drinks for summer right?
I like adding different things to drinks – makes life much more fun. And, to be honest, adding things that are healt,hy? Well who doesn’t love that?
I mean if I can have a cocktail and get some of my fruits/veggies in for the day? Two-birds-one-stone kind of thing! It’s why I use V-8 in my Bloody Marys (and because it has better flavor …)!
This drink is definitely a “choose your own flavor” kind of drink. I used my Lemon Head Vodka. Some other great choices? Coconut (i.e. Malibu) Rum, Captain Morgan, Orange Vodka, etc. I don’t recommend using a plain vodka or rum, but if that’s all you have it’s all you have!
Another note, I used frozen watermelon. If you do not have frozen, use less watermelon and add some ice. You may not even need to add the splash of club soda (that wasn’t for flavor as much as it was to thin it out).
Did you know these great watermelon facts?
- Every part of a watermelon is edible including the rinds and seeds.
- Watermelon is grown in nearly 100 countries worldwide.
- The heaviest watermelon on record weighed in at 350 lbs.
- Watermelon contains more lycopene than tomatoes.
- Fruit or Vegetable? Watermelon is classified as both!

🙂 Watermelon is so yummy!
This totally reminds me of granitas in Sicily! They serve them as you do, with cream, but for breakfast and dip a brioche in them! Sounds crazy, but I was hooked. They don’t have watermelon flavor, but I think they should! Yum!
I love watermelon flavor – it’s one of my favorites 😉
I love this idea! I actually have the Zoku Ice Pop maker set and definitely plan to make these into ice pops (both with and without the alcohol). Can’t wait to try this out.
oh that is a great idea! YUM
Ohhh this would be great in Ice Pops! What a great idea!!!
