Happy National Vodka Day! (Did you know it was today?) In celebration of this VERY important holiday, I teamed up with Smirnoff and a few of my favorite bartenders to bring you some of our favorite vodka-based cocktails……and my fav? A Watermelon Jalapeno Bloody Mary! With football season in full swing, I’ve been playing with daytime cocktails……and this delicious bloody mary is a fun take on a classic cocktail. 
Before starting, be sure that you have all ingredients on hand. The most important ingredients for a watermelon jalapeno bloody mary? Smirnoff’s Watermelon Vodka and fresh jalapeno peppers. The sweet vodka combined with the spicy peppers? Trust me, it’s delicious.

32 ounces tomato juice 1/2 cup cubed watermelon 1 diced jalapeno pepper 6 ounces Smirnoff Watermelon Vodka A dash of worcestershire sauce Blend all ingredients together and serve over ice. Serves 3.

I can’t decide how I feel about this, I need to try it! I love Bloody Mary’s and I love watermelon so I think it has to be a winning combo!
I am such a wimp with spicy things, but my family LOVES it and I can’t wait to make this for them! YUM! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This sounds so different but so good! I’m not usually a big fan of traditional bloody mary’s, but this one sounds worth a try for sure!
I’ve actually never had a bloody mary but you’ve totally convinced me that I need to!
This looks SO GOOD! All of these National Vodka Day posts are making me thirsty!!!!
I bet my boyfriend would love this! I wouldn’t just because I am not a bloody mary fan!
