This delicious summer cocktail combines fresh watermelon juice, basil, mint, and light rum for a refreshing treat. Fresh herbs and watermelon go so well together!
Using a muddler, a fork, or a spoon, smash the basil and mint leaves into the bottom of a glass to release their juices.
Add watermelon water, rum, and 2 oz water.
Stir to combine. Fill the glass with ice, and serve.
Notes
Check the produce section of your grocery store for fresh-pressed watermelon juice.To make your own watermelon juice, blend the red part of the watermelon in a blender (without any hard seeds), then strain it through a fine mesh sieve or through a coffee filter, depending on whether you want any pulp. Another option is to muddle cubes of watermelon in a glass and then strain out the solids and use the juice for this drink.
