2 Quick Tips for Making Cocktails with Fresh Fruit

Here are a couple of quick and useful tips to keep in mind if you’re going to be making a lot of cocktails with fresh fruit:

  • Match the right fruit with the right spirit. An undeniable fact is that certain types of fruits go better with certain types of alcoholic spirits. For example, something like gin goes well with citrus fruits that help to bring out it’s natural juniper berry flavor, such as oranges, lemons, or grapefruit.
  • Keep it as fresh as possible. It goes without saying that you should be aiming to use the freshest fruit as possible when making your cocktails. If for whatever reason you can’t use either fresh fruit or freshly squeezed fruit juice, then you should be looking at buying the highest quality (and all-natural) fruit juices that you can find instead.

How to Store This Lemon Lime Watermelon Vodka Cocktail for Later

As with most vodka cocktails, this lemon lime watermelon vodka drink has quite a long shelf life – it can last for up to 2 to 3 months when stored properly in the fridge.

On the other hand, if you’re mixing this cocktail up to serve at a social gathering, I would recommend leaving it in the fridge until about 2 hours before the beginning of your event.
