It has really been a very hot summer in Florida. Your Watermelon Cooler sounds so refreshing! For some of my friends, including me, who like what I call "sissy" martinis, I think I will try your recipe and substitute vodka for the water. Think it will work?

If you use some watermelon rum in there it makes it even better.

Looking at this while I'm eating my watermelon in 90+ degree Michigan weather. Looks so refreshing. I say add a splash (or two) of vodka and you're good to go.
