This is literally summer in a drink, and it can easily be made non-alcoholic as well by subbing the coconut rum for coconut milk and the prosecco for sparkling water. The only non-negotiable is serving is a fun glass.
what you'll need:
1 large handful fresh mint leaves
6 oz fresh watermelon juice
1.5 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz coconut rum
2 teaspoons honey or simple syrup
prosecco or sparkling water
sugar and lime zest, to rim the glass
yield: 2 drinks
total cook time: 10 minutes
instructions:
In a shaker, muddle half of the fresh mint. Add ice, watermelon juice, lime juice, coconut rum, and honey. Shake for about 15 seconds.
In glasses rimmed with sugar and fresh lime zest, add the remaining fresh mint leaves and ice. Strain the watermelon drink into each and top with a splash of prosecco or sparkling water.
