Watermelon Gin & Tonic .. So Good , Happy Weekend ..

Happy Thursday ! The weekend's almost here and everybody loves a nice refreshing drink , so if you are going to have friends over this weekend , I thought I'd share with you a recipe of a special favourite of mine .

In England we all love a G&T :) If your not sure what that is ,it's a Gin & Tonic . This is a Watermelon G&T .

At home we all love eating fruit and watermelon is a favourite , so it's a staple that I always buy , when it's available at the supermarkets . It's pretty easy to put together and absolutely delicious to taste . Too good to stop at one glass but please don't drink more than you should :) Be responsible !

Ingredients

Watermelon Syrup 

1 half of a small watermelon

Half a cup of sugar

a pinch of salt 

Gin & Tonic

3 tablespoons of the watermelon syrup

3 ounces of gin

4 ounces of tonic

watermelon balls for garnish

Slices of lime for garnish

In a blender add the watermelon ,sugar and the pinch of salt and blend until smooth . If you don't have a cheesecloth to strain the watermelon mixture , put it through a sieve twice , should work .

Put it in the fridge to chill .

In a tall glass add the watermelon syrup first , then the gin , then the tonic and stir . Garnish with the watermelon balls and the sliced lime .

ready to drink . Enjoy , Cheers  :)
