Today I want to share with you an amazing, refreshing, vibrant cocktail that pairs two of my favorite flavors; watermelon and champagne. This cocktail is the ultimate summer sipper great for girl’s night in, weekend fiestas or to sip as you lounge by the pool. Plan ahead by making the mint simple syrup a few days in advance, blend the watermelon the morning before your guests arrive and place in fridge with champagne to chill and you are all set!
