Fruit Cocktails by Wataru Matsumoto 8: Watermelon

Service: very professional and friendly.
Facilities: great washroom, great cleanliness overall.
Prices: reasonable, good value.

This is the eighth recipe of a (hopefully long) series of cocktails concocted by Wataru Matsumoto, owner/bartender at BOTANICAL (Comfort bar) in Shizuoka City.
No worries about copyrights as Mr. Matsumoto is only too happy to share his secrets!

INGREDIENTS:

-Salt
-Lime: 1/2
-Vodka (Smirnoff): 1 measure
-Watermelon: as appropriate
-Large ice cube

RECIPE

-Choose a tulip glass with a wide enough rim. Coat the rim with lime juice with a half cut lime.
Pour good quality salt on a saucer. Turn the glass upside down onto the saucer so as to allow enough salt to coat the glass rim.

-Drop a large enough ice cube in the glass. Pour the vodaka over it.

-Cut enough watermelon and blend lightly so as to preserve the “crunchy bite” of the watermelon.
Pour over the ice and stir gently with a long spoon.

-It is nothing else but a watermelon salty Dog!

Drinks, “eats” very quickly, so have a care! LOL
