Watermelon Martini Recipe

This Watermelon Martini is all about RESPECT. Respect that delicate Watermelon flavor. Don’t make barf-flavored hard candy out of it and hawk it to kids so that every time they think of watermelon-flavored things they brace themselves for a few dry heaves. Watermelon is fresh and juicy and tastes like summer eternal. So should any watermelon-flavored cocktail. Makes us want to hit 100mph on the highway with the top down and mouths hanging open like idiots as bugs crash into our throats and we cough too loud to hear the hot weather tunes.
