Instructions

One drink

  • Watermelon juice - Peel and roughly chop the watermelon. Add to a blender and blend until smooth. Pass through a sieve to remove fiber.
  • Add the mint to a cocktail shaker or tall glass and muddle them with a wooden muddler. Then, add the chilled watermelon juice, lemon juice, sugar, and rum. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with a watermelon wedge, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
    Pro tip - I used chilled watermelon juice without not ice but it is better to serve this drink over ice.

Pitcher (6 drinks)

  • To a blender or food processor, add the watermelon, sugar, lemon juice, and a few mint leaves. Strain into a large pitcher and add the rum. Stir well to combine. Keep chilled until ready to use.
