the popsicle project | week 2: creole lady melonade

i've been drinking... watermelon

week 2! this week's popsicle is based off of a cocktail we fashioned in montauk lovingly named "The Sandy Bitch". We mad scientist'ed a recipe of whatever Montauk Mike had in his pantry, and came up with something delicious and deliciously boozy.

What's in it:

Ingredients:

  • 3 parts watermelon: maybe like... a quarter of a medium sized watermelon? chopped up.
  • 1-1.5 part alcohol: half vodka, half st germain 
  • 1 lime's juicy juice

Prep time: 5 min

  • this one took a bit because of the muddling involved with the watermelon. start by chopping up the watermelon into bits, and then run it through a juicer. I used a lime-one because that's all I had. It worked great! 
  • Juice all the watermelon, keeping the juice and the mushed up watermelon meat in a cup
  • Add in the vodka and St Germain
  • Squeeze in the juice of a lime. Use the lime juicer if you have one, because that's what it's meant to do
  • And then that's it.
Here's a visual of a limer juicer thing, because I'm pretty sure that's not it's official name but I dont know what else to call it:

Ta da!:




Rating: ****
First of all, I'm just impressed it froze because there is a fair amount of alcohol in this one, and of the non-freezing vodka variety too. It was already a favorite summer cocktail, so the fact that it comes in frozen form on a stick is just the type of happiness Pharrell sings about.
