Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups (3/4-inch) diced red watermelon
6 ounces good vodka, such as Grey Goose
3 ounces Cointreau or Triple Sec liqueur
2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
4 large mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

Place the watermelon in a food mill fitted with the largest disc set over a medium bowl and process. The food mill will separate the seeds and the pulp from the juice; you should have about two cups of juice. Pour into a pitcher and discard the seeds and pulp. Stir in the vodka, Cointreau, and lime juice.
Fill a cocktail shaker half-full with ice, pour in the cocktail mixture, and shake it for a full 30 seconds. Pour into chilled martini glasses and garnish each glass with a sprig of mint. Serve ice cold.
