Ready for a sip?

          Last few weekends have been quite busy for us. We had a great reunion of friends at Hershey,  followed by another visit to NOLA followed by Lil S's big birthday lunch followed by P's B''day when we drove to San Antonio! In the middle of all this I also started weekly volunteering to the local library.
But now we are back for good. No more weekend trips, at least for a month or so :-)

I was missing my blog. So today morning I thought of sharing an easy cocktail recipe! I made this for P's B'day and we both enjoyed it. Luckily this year P's B'day was on a Friday, so we could enjoy the evening to our heart's content.

 I had never used Triple Sec before, but I must say that I liked the taste. The staff at local Specs was very helpful to give me a hand in figuring out the right shelf!

Indulge this cool drink while you relax in your bath tub!
Water melon cocktail 

Recipe for Water Melon cocktail ( for two):

Water Melon juice - 1.5 cup
Vodka - 1/2 cup
Triple Sec- 1/4 th cup
A sprig of mint
4 tea spoon of lemon juice


  • De-seed Water Melon and blend it. Strain it and leave it refrigerated with the mint leaves and lemon juice for half an hour. ( I use the tender mint leaves at the tip of the stem)
  • Mix Vodka and Triple sec in a high ball glass and stir it
  • In tall flute glass serve Water Melon juice with the Vodka - Triple Sec
  • Your concoction is ready!
Get refreshed with this drink!
