She’s been catching plenty of waves and working on her tan at the beach throughout her pandemic quarantine.
Bethenny Frankel took a break from the beach on Saturday to cool down with a refreshing cocktail made with fresh watermelon.
The 49-year-old former Real Housewives Of New York City star showed off the simple drink recipe on her Instagram Stories while rocking a stunning royal blue bikini that highlighted her trim figure.

Bethenney’s top was jazzed up with a gold triangle in the middle and a black stripe at the top decorated with a gold chain design.
The low-rise bottoms showcased her admirable abs and also featured the gold chain design on the straps.
The 5ft7in reality star completed her beach-ready look with a wide-brimmed straw hat and a set of blue reflective sunglasses to complement that bathing suit.
She filmed her video from inside her kitchen on her granite-topped island, with plenty of wine and cocktail glasses behind her at the bar.

‘I’m back from surfing with my daughter and my boyfriend — busy mom!’ she began.
‘But, having a cocktail. The cocktail happened and you didn’t see it. Did it really happen? I think not,’ she joked before repeating the process for drink number two.
She began with a generous stemless wine glass filled with vodka soda and then poured in a small glass of squeezed watermelon juice.
‘I was making a sorbet before — I don’t waste a thing,’ she explained.
Next up was a ‘splash of lime juice, or a squeeze from a lime,’ though Bethenny gave an extended pour.

She went to mix the concoction by pouring it into the watermelon glass, before realizing it was too small and spilling on the counter.
‘That was moronic,’ she said before taking a sip. ‘Too limey, hold please.’
After wiping down the counter, she added in a bit of limeade (though lemonade or Sprite would work too) to add just the right amount of sweetness, as the watermelon juice wasn’t especially sweet.
She had a pleased look on her face after getting the ratios just right.

Missing from Bethenny’s cocktail hour was her boyfriend, Boston-based businessman Paul Bernon.
Paul, 43, who has produced acclaimed indie films including Drinking Buddies, Results and An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty, has been dating Bethenny since 2018.
The reality star–turned–entrepreneur also has a 10-year-old daughter Bryn with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

Last year, Bethenny took to Instagram to reveal the secrets to keeping her svelte figure.
‘My philosophy on eating & exercise is to do what you can when you can,’ she told her followers.
‘I choose time with my daughter & sleep first. If I’m near a beach, I take an hour walk. If I have the time, I’ll do a yoga dvd.
‘I don’t believe in fear based, torturous, aggressive exercise. Life is too short and stressful to dread doing something for an hour. In addition, extreme exercise creates extreme hunger.’
