So maybe you’re wondering, what drinks you can make with Absolut Watermelon. From a Martini and a Cosmo to a Spritzer and a Punch, we present five of our favorite drinks to make with Absolut Watermelon.

1. Absolut Watermelon Martini

It’s no secret that Absolut Vodka tastes incredible as the base for a Martini, so much so that we created a drink collection devoted to the 10 types of Martinis that every home bartender should make.  

But there’s one Martini missing from that list…the Absolut Watermelon Martini.  

This delicious Martini mixes Absolut Watermelon, muddled Watermelon, and a dash of Simple Syrup. Served in an elegant Martini Glass with a Watermelon Wedge, the Absolut Watermelon Martini is the most sophisticated summer cocktail you’ve ever seen.

2. Absolut Watermelon Fizzy Punch 

Summer is around the corner, and we’ve got just the drink for your next party. “It’s fruity, it’s sweet, and it’s easy as heck to whip up when you’ve got your friends coming over,” says Rico.

For this one, you’ll need a blender and, because it’s a drink that’s made for parties, you’ll also need a pitcher.

The Absolut Watermelon Fizzy Punch mixes Absolut Watermelon, Fresh Blended Watermelon Juice, Lemon Juice, and Simple Syrup. It’s then topped up with bubbly Soda Water and garnished with a Sprig of Mint. OK…have you ever seen a more summer drink?

3.Watermelon Cosmopolitan

One of the most beloved cocktails in the world, the Cosmopolitan is known for its delicious sweet and tart citrus and cranberry flavors, and is one of the most popular drinks made with Absolut Citron.

However, to create this Cosmopolitan variation, we swap Lemon-Flavored Vodka for Absolut Watermelon. Mixed with Triple Sec, Lemon Juice, and Cranberry Juice, it’s a Cosmo but with a big, juicy, summery twist.

Here’s how to make a Watermelon Cosmopolitan.

4. Watermelon Vodkarita 

“Wait, am I in Mexico?!” you ask. Clearly, you’ve just sipped a Watermelon Vodkarita.

OK, if you love a Margarita, you’re gonna love the Watermelon Vodkarita. This incredible shaken cocktail mixes Absolut Watermelon, Fresh Watermelon Juice, Fresh Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, and a splash of Orange Liqueur.

Served in a Lime and Salt-Rimmed Rocks Glass and garnished with a Lime Wedge, it really is the taste of Mexico…just without the Tequila.
