Method
 

  1. First, rim the cocktail glasses.
  2. Salting a Rim:
  3. Run a lime wedge along the rim of the glass cups. (Tip: Keep the glass upside down to avoid the lime liquid from running down in the sides)
  4. Pour some salt or a flavored cocktail rimming salt blend on a plate. Dip the rim of your glass into the salt or hold the glass at an angle and slowly spin the glass through the salt- coating the rim glass.
  5. Set the glass aside before pouring cocktail. This allows the salt to set/dry along the glass rim.
  6. Clean/prep fresh slices of watermelon and lemon for muddling and place into cocktail shaker.
  7. Pour in the strawberry infused syrup and fresh lemon juice. Use a muddler to infuse the flavors of the fruit.
  8. Pour in the liquor, fresh watermelon juice, and ice chips.
  9. Place the top on the cocktail shaker and shake until cold.
  10. Tip: If you like your drinks on the rock, just add a few ice chips to your serving cup before pouring the cocktails.
  11. Pour the watermelon lemon drop cocktail into the rimmed glasses.
  12. Garnish with fresh lime, lemon, or strawberry slices. Enjoy!
