Watermelon Jolly Rancher

Day 233

Watermelon Jolly Rancher

2.5 shots out of 5

It's Friday!!!!  Oh wait.......we have crazy busy weekends........BUT wait, the Giants are playing Game 1 of the playoffs on Saturday and Game 2 on Sunday!  I can NOT wait for the post season to start!

I gave tonight's cocktail 2.5 shots out of 5.  I found tonight's cocktail at the Moms In The City site.  First off I love the watermelon jolly ranchers.  Secondly I got excited when I saw the photo of this cocktail, it just looked good even though it was green and the candy is a medium pink.  Then I looked at the ingredients...... and thought.........maybe somehow this cocktail "would" magically look as green as the photo showed it to be.  No such luck.  Just like in my Barbie cocktail when the photo from the "other" site made it look neon pink........then I made it the same way and it was.......yellow/orange. Anyways, I would not order this one at a bar or make it here again.  It just wasn't special enough, and it didn't taste good enough.  

Here is the recipe for a Watermelon Jolly Rancher:

• 1/2 oz melon liqueur
• 1 oz vodka
• 1 1/2 oz cranberry juice

In a shaker add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake it up well and strain it into a chilled martini glass.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Good news is, Big Bird is still roaming around Sesame Street!  Bad news is tonight's cocktail wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

Cheers!!
