In the summer I prefer to sip on a beverage that has a little bit of sweetness to it.  I often choose flavored iced teas, sparkling water, or sangria.   They are all refreshing and I like to play around with the flavors to make them suit my mood.

One beverage I rarely drink is a martini.  The reason being that it is mostly made of alcohol so they are very strong and often they are not sweet at all.  The only alcoholic beverage I can drink that doesnโ€™t have some sweetness to it is wine.  Everything else needs to have at least a touch of sugar in it.

Everything you need to make a Watermelon Guava Martini

However, today is National Martini Day so I decided to give it a shot.   I wanted to make a fruity martini so that the sweetness was there and so that the vodka wasnโ€™t overpowering.  After trying several different flavor combinations the one I liked best for summer is this Watermelon Guava Martini.

Doesnโ€™t the name just sound fruity and fun?   Itโ€™s also a really pretty pink color so itโ€™s prefect for brunch, happy hour, or even book club.   While it is fruity and has some sweetness you can definitely still taste the vodka, it just isnโ€™t overbearing.

I used a watermelon flavored drink as the base for this cocktail.  If you canโ€™t find plain watermelon (I had a hard time) you can get watermelon paired with something else or you could simply blend and strain fresh watermelon.  Either way it adds a light flavor and some sweetness.  The guava syrup adds more sweetness and flavor to it.  I used plain vodka but I do think that some type of tropical flavored vodka would be really tasty in this martini as well.
