last sip of summer

See past annual crabbing on Cape Cod weekends here, here and here

    P.S. watermelon mint fizz
This fancy, fizzy pink delight is a blend of fresh squeezed watermelon and lime juices with mint simple syrup and prosecco. I totally didn't measure anything and garnished it with a watermelon triangle, a slice of kiwi and a mint leave. To make the simple syrup boil 1 cup water with 3/4 cup sugar (I never like a full cup ratio) then simmer and allow it to reduce until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy. Add the mint and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. It is best to chill the syrup it in the fridge overnight or as long as time will allow. This cocktail was a huge hit, even with the boys!
