These were delish! You don't need the sugar though if you choose a good watermelon.
8/8/2011 04:42:09 PM Report AbuseMade this over the weekend. Super Yummy - like jolly rancher in a glass. I cubed and froze my watermelon and used that in the blendar with the citrus vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice and a splash of watermelon pucker. BIG hit with everyone. The drink will separate if left sitting but just give it a stir to re-incorporate ingredients.

I would taste it before adding any sugar though, because OJ is already pretty sweet. Maybe rim the glass with sugar, instead.
