Directions

  1. In a sturdy glass or a cocktail shaker, combine a few fresh mint leaves with 2-3 lime wedges.
  2. Muddle (gently crush) the mint and lime together using a muddler or the back of a spoon. This releases the mint oils and lime juice, infusing the drink with their flavors.
  3. Add 1.5 oz of rum to the muddled mint and lime mixture.
  4. Pour in 0.5 oz of simple syrup to add sweetness.
  5. Add 3 oz of Minute Maid Watermelon juice to the mixture.
  6. If using a cocktail shaker, add ice and shake well. If using a glass, simply stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Fill a serving glass with ice.
  8. Strain the liquid from the shaker (if used) or if you used a glass for mixing, simply pour the mixture into the glass.
  9. Top off the cocktail with 2 oz of club soda for a refreshing fizz.
  10. Garnish with additional lime wedges and a sprig of fresh mint.
  11. Serve immediately.
