Watermelon Poptini Cocktail Recipe, an easy summer drink with Pop Rocks, watermelon, and vodka! After I made my Mini Strawberry Shortcake Poppers recently, I couldn’t quite get over my fascination with Pop Rocks (which would be my way of saying I couldn’t get enough of those darn little candies!!!).  Pop Rocks work great to line glass rims for your favorite drinks. I had some fresh watermelon in the house AND Watermelon Pop Rocks so what was a girl to do??? I went to the nearest liquor store, bought some watermelon vodka, and next thing I knew I was making a Watermelon Poptini! :)

  1. Wow!! This looks amazing! I have to have one right now!!! Well, maybe I’ll wait till noon ;)

  5. I can’t wait to try this one! It sounds yummy, can’t wait for watermelon season now! Love the idea to run with pop rocks

  7. Hello Lisa;

    This sounds delightful…What a fun addition with Pop Rocks. Looking forward to trying this. Maybe a girls night, can’t wait to see their faces with the added surprise of Pop Rocks.

  11. Great idea! I saw it in Pop Rocks´ facebook page (www.facebook.com/PopRocksCandy). I´ll try it next July 4th!

  12. This is a great idea! I might have to use this for the fourth of July. Thanks!

  13. Now Ms. Lisa…you have touched my heart….watermelon is my FAVORITE. Can’t wait to try this one out.

  14. HI Lisa! Not a silly question! Our grocery store actually sells them in the candy aisle although I would have never noticed them if I wasn’t looking for them as they were on the bottom shelf and kind of hidden. But the first place I found them recently was at Christmas Tree Shop (not sure if you’re familiar with them? Crazy store!) and they had a “variety” pack of them with their “movie” candy!

  15. Silly question, but where did you find the pop rocks? I haven’t seen them in ages! Granted I haven’t been looking, but I don’t remember them last time I was down the candy aisle at the grocery store either… :)
