It.Is.Hot.
So hot in fact that our air conditioner can't keep up. It was about 85 degrees in the house yesterday. But today is a little better. Still, I was craving a cool drink. What's cooler than watermelon? Champagne.
Watermelon Champagne Recipe:
- 3 cups Watermelon (seedless & cubed)
- 1 bottle Champagne (I used a $6 bottle of Brut)
- 1 tbsp granulated white sugar (you could substitute with 1 1/2 packets of Splenda for a sugar free version)
We picked up a seedless watermelon at the store that was already chilled. Brian laboriously scooped out the good stuff.
then he kindly popped the top on the champagne
I blended together the watermelon cubes and champagne (little by little because I have a small and cheap blender)
I tasted it before I added the sugar because I thought - nah, I don't need the sugar - but I wanted it to be a little more sweeter. So I succumbed to the sugar.
I put a few blueberries in the bottom for pizzazz
and a sprig of spearmint as a garnish
Extremely tasty!!! So refreshing.
