It's beautiful here in Portland today, 72 degrees with a slight breeze and sunny skies. I can smell summer coming. To celebrate, I thought this yummy watermelon cocktail would be nice. Enjoy your weekend!

Watermelon Sidecar
Ingredients:
1 small seedless watermelon
1 lemon
brandy
Cointreau
Sugar {for rim of glasses}


Directions:
Whirl chunks of watermelon in a food processor until blended, then strain. Rub the rim of a martini glass with a cut lemon wedge, then dip rim in a shallow plate of sugar. Pour 3 tbsp. watermelon juice, 2 tbsp. brandy, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, and 2 tbsp. Cointreau into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake thoroughly, then strain into glass. Garnish with watermelon wedges. YUM, right?!
