while i was away in north carolina last weekend, my friend danielle's mother, clara, came across a recipe for watermelon mint lemonade. and, though that sounds perfectly delicious, clara decided that adding a bit of vodka wouldn't hurt...since we were on vacation and all. in addition to the vodka, we made some other adjustments, such as cutting out the watermelon (we got hungry) and adding cranberry juice instead. oh yeah, we also didn't put any mint in because we forgot. so i mean, this is a completely different drink than we decided to make initially, but i'd say it turned out for the better! it was quite refreshing and the perfect summer cocktail!
the clara:
ingredients:
sliced lime
cranberry juice
orangina
orange/citrus flavored vodka
ice
fill 1/4 of a large glass with ice. cover ice completely with vodka (feel free to add more if you, too, are on vacation). fill another quarter of the glass with orangina or any other sparkling orange soda and top off with cranberry juice and a slice of lime. enjoy (:
