Party Panache, Watermelon on the Rocks

Sigh….watermelon

and “thank you” to the genius that created the seedless watermelon…

Perfect for popping in a cocktail!

Barcardi makes a Grand Melon Rum, for fabulous summer sipping

It’s so good, all you need is some ice, and a piece of watermelon or two

and perhaps a wedge of lime

These glasses are called “Cool Cocktails” by Libbey.  The round bowl style glass holds a triangular glass perfectly on a bed of ice or “rocks”

You can also make a slushie

To enjoy poolside

Be careful, it tastes just like watermelon!

One more reason to celebrate Summer!
