Custom Cocktails

Shake things up at your reception with fabulous, flavorful drinks

Strawberry Watermelon Mojito
It was mint to be: a sunny drink filled with a summer favorite-and no seeds.


- 1½ oz. Smirnoff Strawberry Vodka

- ½ oz. fresh lime juice

- ½ oz. mint-infused simple syrup (To make mint syrup, bring 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and add 8 to 10 mint leaves. Let cool for 30 minutes. Strain.)

- 1 cup fresh seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves

- Club soda

Combine vodka, lime juice, simple syrup, ½ cup of watermelon and about 10 mint leaves in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a glass with ice and remaining watermelon. Top with club soda. Garnish with additional mint leaf.
