Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped watermelon
• 1 cup simple syrup
• 1 cup white rum
• 1 bunch (30 grams) mint leaves, removed from stems
• 2 limes, sliced into wedges
• 3 cups club soda

Directions

• Note: Simple syrup is created by combining equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely (no need to boil!) Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. I usually do 1:1 ratio.
• Add limes and mint to a large pitcher. Using a muddler, crush limes until all juices have been released. Add 1 3/4 cups of watermelon and muddle some more. Stir in syrup and muddle a bit more.
• Pour in club soda, rum, and remaining chunks of watermelon. Mix until combined.
• Serve over ice in tall glasses!
