1. Absolut Watermelon Martini

The Absolut Watermelon Martini offers a summer twist on a classic martini. It’s no secret that Absolut Vodka is incredible as the base for a Martini, which is why we decided to make one using Absolut Watermelon.

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 

The Absolut Watermelon Fizzy Punch combines Absolut Watermelon, freshly blended watermelon juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup for a delicious summer drink. Finished with bubbly soda water and a sprig of mint, it’s an easy cocktail to make – just keep in mind that you’ll need a blender to get started.

“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.

3.Watermelon Cosmopolitan

A Watermelon Cosmopolitan is exactly what it sounds like – a watermelon take on one of the world’s most beloved cocktails, the Cosmopolitan.

However, to create this Cosmopolitan variation, we swap Absolut Citron, lemon-flavored vodka, for Absolut Watermelon. Mixed with triple sec, lemon juice, and cranberry juice like the original, it’s a Cosmo but with a big, juicy, summery twist.

Check out the recipe for an Absolut Watermelon Cosmopolitan.

4. Watermelon Vodkarita 

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

If you love a Margarita, you’re going to love this watermelon vodka cocktail. The Watermelon Vodkarita 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 delivers all the flavor you’d expect from a Margarita – just without the tequila. Check out the recipe for the Absolut Watermelon Vodkarita.
