This punchy watermelon basil martini is a vodka cocktail made with Perfy Fruit Punch, watermelon vodka and a fresh watermelon-lime-basil juice. We take our martini shaken and deliciously fruity, kinda like the international spy. But you can call us 004, because there's only 4g sugar in this work of art.
Made with: Perfy Fruit Punch
Ingredients
- 2 oz Fruit Punch Perfy
- 1½ oz watermelon vodka (we used Ciroc)
- 1½ oz watermelon, lime basil juice (see notes)
- 2 medium basil leaves
- Watermelon for garnish*
- Watermelon Basil Juice
- 1 cup seedless watermelon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3 large basil leaves
How to Make Punchy Watermelon Basil Martini
- Add the Fruit Punch Perfy and vodka to a shaker.
- Make the watermelon, lime, basil juice and add to the shaker with a handful of ice. Shake vigorously and pour into a chilled martini glass.
- Julienne the basil leaves and sprinkle on top.
- If you have the time, cut a few watermelon cubes, or use a melon baller to scoop into watermelon balls an hour before making your cocktail and freeze them. Use these to garnish your beverage.

Tips & Variations
- For a zero-proof version, skip the vodka and top up with more Perfy Fruit Punch.
- Plain vodka works if you can't find watermelon vodka; just add a little more of the watermelon juice. Make the juice ahead and chill it.
- Make a pitcher: multiply everything by 6, stir the rest together first, and add the Perfy last over ice so it keeps its fizz.
