Hannah says: "Adding feta to a martini might feel like quite a rogue decision, but we only do it for a couple of hours in the fridge and it gives the vodka a savoury, slightly creamy edge. Adding a little bit of lemon peel really lifts it as well and then when you add it to the watermelon it stops it from being too sweet but still mega refreshing."
