Summer Party Signature Drink: Watermelon Sidecar

I am planning an anniversary party this summer and was wanting to give my wonderful client a signature drink. I was so excited when I found this recipe on Sunset magazine for the watermelon sidecar. Nothing, to me, says summer without smacking you across the head with a summer themed party than watermelon.

One of the awesome parts about my job is that I get to make and sample this drink...for research ofcourse! Here is the recipe;


Whirl chunks of watermelon in a food processor until blended, then strain. Rub the rim of a martini glass with a cut lemon wedge, then dip rim in a shallow plate of sugar. Pour 3 tbsp. watermelon juice, 2 tbsp. brandy, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, and 2 tbsp. Cointreau into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake thoroughly, then strain into glass. Garnish with watermelon wedges. YUM, right?!


I hope this drink recipe will encourage you to throw a summer party for your loved ones. Invite us to come throw it for you so you can stay where you belong...with your guests and stress free!

Until Next Time...Happy Planning!
