Shannon Buckley-Shaklee; fantastic friend and master mixologist planted the seed for this recipe, shortly after I visited her in Seoul, South Korea in May.

"It is full-on watermelon season here. Have you ever had watermelon juice? If not, have some quickly. It is amazing. We made watermelon cocktails tonight and they were very yummy."
