cocktail of the week: 'weekend at michelle's'

Summer is finally here, and that means strong yet light cocktails are the way to go! And while I was dog sitting for my friend, I happened to cook up one heck of an early summer delight!

Weekend at Michelle's

Served over ice.

*2 shots of Triple Sec
*1 shot of Gin (if you don't like gin, just use three shots of triple sec, or otherwise just do a splash of gin!)
*Fresh lime juice
*Watermelon Cucumber Juice (if you think the cucumber is too much, feel free to use watermelon juice! But the cucumber gets washed out by the stronger flavors but manages to leave behind quite the refreshing aftertaste.

Garnish with a lime, no need to mix or shake! 

I'm not a huge gin fan, but I think this is a perfect drink! The orange, watermelon and lime (and even a little bit of the cucumber) blend very well. Enjoy this drink on the porch and drink quickly so the ice doesn't melt!
