Oh my God? Where have I been? This is crazy. It's not that I don't care about you, no, that's not it at all. I've just been so busy. But no Drink of the Week, that was just rude. I will continue to do my best. Sometimes my best just kind of sucks. Sorry. While we are on the subject of Drink of the Week, let me introduce you to the Briny Breeze. I named it after this little town in south Florida. It's a little mobile home park right on the ocean and it is amazing. Especially if you happen to have a polaroid camera with you (which I did). So, without further adieu . . .
The Briny Breeze
5 small pieces of Watermelon (i used a melon baller, because melon ballers are fun)
3 mint leaves
1 oz vodka
A generous splash of Rose's sweetened lime juice
A splash of Cointreau ( I also tried it with a splash of Campari and that was good, too. I just feel like I always use Campari, but Campari is really, really good. Especially in summer.)
club soda or tonic water
Plop your melon balls into a glass along with the mint leaves (i tore mine into pieces - - it feels naughty) and the vodka and then muddle it up. Add all of your splashes and stir. Fill a second glass with ice and then pour your muddled mixture over the ice, top off with club soda or tonic water. Garnish with melon balls, mint and lime - - you could even sugar the rim if you were so inclined. Now drink it!

YOU'RE ALIVE! I wasn't even angry I was like "Is she alive?!" All is forgiven--this is a beautiful drink! It sounds really good, too. I was thinking it might be good with something like honeydew, but watermelon is a lot less dense and meaty than honeydew...
Keep up the great work!
good one. like the garnish assemblage.
I do not know what a melon baller is....I amuse it makes melon balls. Whatever it is, this drink looks great!
Sometimes, life happens :-)
It's good to hear from you again.
Thanks for the new drink. I will try it sometime soon. Just remember to take care of yourself first. The rest will follow! :-)
Hugs from Eva :-)

That drink sounds so delicious! I love the idea of watermelon with mint.
One of these days, you must find a nonalcoholic replacement for everything for those of us underage. It sounds delicious; I'm so very jealous,
what a fresh summery drink! perfect.
I can't possibly gripe at you for being gone. After all I promised to spend your twenty bucks weeks ago, and still haven't done it.

Just so you know...I have a plethora of melon ballers. A PLETHORA.
