A friend was telling me yesterday about a cocktail she had while visiting in Leavenworth WA.

It was a Spicy Watermelon Martini.  It sounds like something I'd really enjoy but I've no idea how to make one.

Any ideas?

I’d try 2 oz gin (or vodka, if you must), 1 oz lemon or lime juice, 3/4 oz simple syrup, 2 oz watermelon juice (from blending a watermelon;  I would start with 2 oz and add more based on taste but you don’t want to dilute your drink too much). Not sure what the spice was but you can experiment with a pinch of cayenne or espelette (like in a Holland Razo Blade). This would be nice with mint too.
