Watermelon Rosemary Lemonade - Mason Jar Cocktail

You know those cocktails that just feel like summer? Well you guessed it, this one is definitely it! Katy found this recipe and knew we had to make it. The best part is the rosemary simple syrup. It sweetens the drink but adds that extra flavor. This cocktail is refreshing and just screams summer. It's DELISH! You can make a big pitcher of this but it may not last long. Plus this cocktail is great with gin or vodka. We just used our favorite tequila. Tequila and The Style Dossier gals is like french fries and ketchup, can't picture them with anything else. 

Watermelon Rum Punch

Labor day is coming which is officially the end of summer, so why don't we have one last summer cocktail! This watermelon rum punch is so refreshing and delicious, you wont be able to have just one glass! 

Ingredients
3 cups watermelon puree (about half of a medium watermelon)
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons mint simple syrup (i used this recipe)
1/2 cup white rum

Directions
Start by cutting up the watermelon. Cut off the watermelon rind and remove any black seeds. Then cut the watermelon into big chunks and place in a bowl.

Once the watermelon is cut up, start to puree it. I used an immersion blender but you can also use a blender!

Strain your watermelon puree into a big pitcher, and add the lime juice. Then add the mint simple syrup to taste, 3 tbsp worked just fine for me! Lastly, add the rum! Give it a stir and a taste! Enjoy!

I hope you guys like this rum punch and have a safe and happy Labor day!!

Watermelon Granita

The BEST thing about being a blogger is all the great people you meet. We've been so fortunate to meet some amazing people. One person we absolutely adore is Nina Holland, she's truly a great friend. She has the best taste with everything, maybe that's why she likes us :)) Recently she sent Mandy a birthday gift, which we have used a ton! It's a great cookbook by The Pioneer Woman. Boy that gal has some fantastic recipes. There was one recipe that I've been dying to try but the only problem is I HATE watermelon. But I thought "what the heck" & since summer's here in TX are brutal it seemed like the best recipe to try. Have I mentioned all you do is freeze the watermelon & you're dish is done, yeah I knew that might get y'alls attention!
