This is my NEW favorite way to use my Watermelon Syrup and I know you'll love it too! This recipe could be used with any of my syrups to create a sassy cocktail that will make you drop it like you are doing a Russian folk dance!

DIRECTIONS
- Combine vodka, Watermelon Syrup, & a squeeze of half of a lime into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover and shake to combine.
