Watermelon Martini

I HATE sour mix. And it seems like most bartenders depend on it. A sweet, fruit based martini never requires sour mix. Further more, a fruit based cocktail should be dependent on the actual fruit it is based on for flavor and not based on puckers artificially flavored. YUCK!
In mixing glass, muddle two tablespoons watermelon and one lemon slice. Add ice, one part citron vodka, one part kettle one vodka, splash of cointreau, splash of pineapple juice. Shake, pour into martini glass. Garnish with watermelon.
