If u are a kid instead of using gin you can use sprite and instead of the lime juice use a little bit of limeade if you want it to taste sweeter, very delicious!! 😋

they say up to a month for the cucumber syrup because that's how long you can keep it refrigerated until it's bad. it doesn't literally mean use it after a month people! use it immediately but it's gonna go bad after a month. duhhh

I made a kid-friendly version and because of that it was too sweet so I watered it down. I also used Tropicana watermelon juice do that probably added to the sweetness.

Def use fresh, strained watermelon juice. It makes all the difference. (First batch included bottled watermelon juice and it wasn’t good.) great refreshing cocktail with vodka for parents and without for kids.
