My husband and I LOVE to host brunch and I just discovered an amazing new cocktail for our brunches on Sundays: a Watermelon Habanero Bloody Mary! Perfect for summer and perfectly refreshing with the pureed watermelon juice but packing a lot of flavor with the hot sauce! Plus, they are perfect for a Sunday morning after a long Saturday night of Korean BBQ and Karaoke singing. Not that I would know first hand or anything …
If you host your own brunch party, you can simply whip up a pitcher and put together a few glasses topped with watermelon and skewers piled high with garnishes! Better yet, host your brunch outside with some grilled breakfast sausages and grill the watermelon, too!
Since this is our last summer in our big backyard before we move to our new house later this year, we will definitely be throwing some brunch parties on Sunday mornings out on the patio and serving these Watermelon Habanero Bloody Marys!
Here’s the recipe:
Watermelon Habanero Bloody Mary

What a nice combination loving all the ingredients and the use of grilled fruit to garnish. #client
