I keep hearing how busy everyone is this Summer and how quickly time has flown by. Heck, school is already back in session in many places! Where did the Summer go??
If you follow Bunkycooks, you will know that our crazy lives have been no exception this Summer! I have been planning Food Blog Forum Atlanta along with Jaden Hair (of Steamy Kitchen) and Diane Cu of (White on Rice Couple) for the event in September. It will be an awesome seminar with lots of invaluable information for food bloggers and professionals, so plan to come! We also have a kick-off event and after party scheduled, so you will have time to drink wine and eat for free network with all of your friends!
I have also been traveling, meeting lots of nifty folks and writing the On the Road with Bunkycooks series (with lots more to come!). I have been interviewing awesome chefs and preserving many of the fruits and vegetables that are so incredible this Summer. I know I will be ecstatic to have them in my freezer or basem*nt when all of the produce looks gross is not very fresh and is definitely not local at the markets this Winter.
It’s so cute!
Don’t get me wrong, I am complaining I am not complaining. I am totally exhausted having a blast, but some days you just need to do something simple, kick back and relax! Those times call for an alcoholic beverage a nice, refreshing Summertime co*cktail!
This cute little watermelon in the picture is called a Sugar Baby. I picked this up at the Cashiers Farmers Market to nibble on because it is so sweet and good (I was also there to visit BB the pig!). However, after all of these long busy days, I decided that a martini was a better option than eating the watermelon all by itself!
This is one of the sweetest watermelons I have ever had.
When I made my cantaloupe martini (which was also very tasty), I did not strain the juice and preferred it that way. There was a nice consistency to the drink and it did not separate. The watermelon juice, however, needs to be strained because there is so much liquid in the fruit (that’s why they call it watermelon). If you don’t strain the juice, it will definitely separate after you make the drink and not look so hot be so photogenic. Of course, if you are drinking fast and not taking pictures, you might not care if you strain the juice! I’m just sayin’...
Since this particular watermelon is very sweet, this recipe was perfect. You might have to adjust and add some simple syrup or a liquor of some type if your watermelon is not as ripe and sweet. I also prefer my martinis less sweet and focus more on using a good vodka. The sugar rim also adds a touch of sweetness, so sit back, relax, bottoms up and enjoy the rest of your Summer!
Would you like one? It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!
Print Recipe
Watermelon Martinis
Serves 2-3 (depending on the size of your glasses!)
Ingredients:
1 cup strained sweet, fresh watermelon juice (I used almost one-third of the Sugar Baby Watermelon)
1/2 cup good vodka (Grey Goose or Ketel One)
Squeeze of fresh lime juice
Ice cubes
Sugar to rim the glasses
Watermelon slices for garnish
Directions:
Dip rims of martini glasses in a little water and then immediately dip into sugar. Set aside. Quickly mix ice, watermelon juice, vodka and fresh lime juice in a co*cktail shaker. Only shake two or three times or else it will become watery. You just want to mix and chill the drink. Pour into sugar rimmed glasses. Garnish with watermelon slices.

With enough vodka, it wouldn’t matter if it’s one of those gross winter watermelons, huh. I’ll need to remember this for when it’s dead winter so I can turn on a bright light, pull out the beach chair, make a watermelon martini, close my eyes and pretend.

Kurt Michael Friese — August 18, 2010 @ 7:40 pm Reply
You may call me a snob (though I prefer the term “purist”), but your co*cktail, delicious as it appears to be, is not a Martini. A Martini is gin and dry vermouth, shaken and served up with an olive or a twist. I will be so liberal as to allow vodka in place of gin, but that’s it.
Putting a co*cktail in a martini glass does not make it a martini. I could put water in a wine glass, doesn’t make me Jesus.

bunkycooks — August 18, 2010 @ 8:52 pm Reply
Hi Kurt,
No, you are not a snob. I know that a true martini is made with gin and according to another blogger/friend, a martini is not even shaken, but stirred. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), any alcoholic beverage that is tossed around in a co*cktail shaker with some ice and thrown into a “martini glass” has become a martini. If you go to any bar/restaurant, there is a “martini” menu that includes all sorts of non “purist” martinis (many are incredibly sweet).
I think it is great to revive the tradition of drinking a martini, even though it may not be a “true” martini. I compare the exposure to a martini as what people have experienced with wine over the years. Once you try a sweeter wine (like a white zinfandel), you then are more willing to try other wines as your palate changes. You may even end up enjoying a true gin martini if you try the sweeter ones first!
Thank you for your comment.
Gwen

Kurt Michael Friese — August 23, 2010 @ 12:20 pm
Of course I realize that restaurants all over the country are doing that, but they are wrong.
And as I say, they may well be tasty co*cktails, but calling them martinis confuses and muddies a world of flavors that is already very complex. This is why Escoffier codified so much of the culinary world, to hep make clear what one was asking for when one said “saute” or “Provencal,” etc.
I made your watermelon co*cktail, it’s very refreshing, but calling drinks martinis that aren’t martinis contributes to the dumbing down of American food culture.

I would definitely love one of those, and it’s nowhere near 5 o’clock here (more like 9am)! I think watermelon juice gets overlooked in summer co*cktails, which is a shame. I just had a watermelon co*cktail over the weekend, and I just love how the juice tastes, and the texture it seems to add to a drink. If that makes sense.
