- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large handfuls of fresh mint leaves
- 2-3 handfuls cubed watermelon
- Lime juice (you should use fresh, but in a pinch, the bottled will do)
- Light rum (Bacardi is my choice!)
- Crushed ice
- Club soda
Place watermelon in blender and puree until liquefied. If you have texture issues, run this through a sieve to get the remaining fibers out!
Place 8-10 mint leaves in the bottom of a glass and pour 2 shot glass measures (3 fl oz) of watermelon juice over the mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to crush the mint leaves and watermelon juice together.
Add 3/4 of a shotglass measure of lime juice (1 oz), 2 shots (3 fl oz) of light rum and 1 shot glass measure (1.5 oz) of the cooled simple syrup. Place liquid with crushed ice in a cocktail shaker and give it a good shake. Pour into a glass and fill any extra room in your glass with club soda. Enjoy!!
