Spicy Watermelon Cooler

Once July 4th comes and goes I can really settle into my summer groove. The holiday weekend was a bit hectic for us with several parties, BBQs and the holiday traffic that made my head spin every time I got in the car. Now that that madness is behind us I am excited for long lazy days outside with Hermione and plenty of sun. In the summer it is much easier to fall into a habit of drinking most every night of the week. With rose and margaritas everywhere it is often hard to stick to just water. I try and limit myself to drinking only one or two nights a week at most. I have zero tolerance after abstaining throught my pregnancy and 20 months of nursing. One drink and I feel drunk and pay for it the next day!

When I don't want an adult beverage but want something more than water I have been whipping up pitchers of this Spicy Watermelon Cooler. It is super refreshing and reminiscent of my favorite spicy margarita. It is also a great drink to have on hand if you are entertaining pregnant or nursing friends.

I recently shared the recipe with WellRoundedNY so head over there to check it our and try for yourself!
