While labor day marks the end of summer, in the south we know we have a few more weeks to enjoy the long days and the warm evenings. As we bask in these last few weeks of late sunsets we also want to savor the fresh ingredients of summer, like watermelon! And what better way to enjoy this fresh fruit than by adding vodka! The folks at Bonefish Grill read our minds and created this Fresh Watermelon Martini with the idea that we all just want a few more more porch sitting, cicada-filled evenings to enjoy friends and family.

As a part of their “hand-crafted happy-hour”, Bonefish curated a few fresh drinks that pair perfectly with their appetizer menu. We obviously ordered the Band Bang Shrimp which we thought couldn’t get any better, but the refreshing watermelon cooled us down after inhaling the spicy shrimp. A few sips later and we were ready for round two and we enjoyed an order of the classic Peruvian-style ceviche served with fresh tortilla chips. Bartender, another please!

While we are always down for a Bonefish Grill kinda night, we sometimes like to stay in and kick one back in the comfort of our own home. Thankfully, we have you covered. The recipe is listed below and could not be easier. So role up your sleeves and give it a shot, if you like it, share your shot with us on instagram and tag @fridgetofork. We love to see your creations and we also love to hear your feedback in the comments below!
