Strawberry-Watermelon Summer Spritzer
From the moment I Unboxed The Summer 2021 Jilly Box and saw the box of SugarJoy candies, I knew I had to come up with a fun little cocktail recipe for the candies. If you haven’t had a chance to check out my unboxing blog post, first of all — do it! But secondly, the box came with two different candies from SugarJoy — sour peach lips and sour watermelons. Though I love peach, summer is all about watermelon if you ask me! So the first thing I thought up — let’s make a super refreshing watermelon drink to sip on this summer. And now, I’m sharing what exactly I did with all of you! (Hint: it’s probably the easiest drink you’ll ever make).
Strawberry-Watermelon Summer Spritzer
Yields 2 Drinks
Ingredients
- 1 can watermelon White Claw (or watermelon seltzer of choice)
- 1 can of strawberry Bubly (or strawberry carbonated water of choice)
- 2 pieces of cubed Watermelon
- 2 strawberries
- 2 SugarJoy Sour Watermelon Candies
- 2 tbsps of White Sugar (for rim)
- 2 Leaves of Mint (Optional)
Directions
- Place your sugar on a flat plate. Rim the edge of your glass using a small piece of watermelon, and dip the entire rim of the glass into the sugar.
- Add ice to your glass, and fill your glass half way with strawberry Bubly. Once fizz settles, fill the remainder of the glass with your watermelon White Claw.
- Using a long wooden skewer, cut to fit across your glass, add one strawberry, one candy & one cube of watermelon, centering them on the skewer. Place your mint leaves on top of the drink (if you're adding these) and then place your skewer across the glass & serve.
I don’t know about you, but I will definitely be enjoying a few of these this summer. Strawberry and watermelon are two of my favourite summer flavours (other than pineapple, of course), and I was pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed the watermelon White Claw!
