Fresh watermelon cocktails inside the melon seem like something you’d only order on a beach in the Caribbean.

No cabana boy necessary for this juicy and refreshing slushy. This recipe is intended for adults ages 21 and older only, who know how to drink responsibly.

There’s something about drinking a slushy cocktail out of a melon that transports me right into a vacation relaxation state.
Even if it’s just a weekend in our backyard, that feeling is welcome.
Summer is flying by, so make some time to soak up that sun.
