I had fresh watermelon, which is unusual, so as a responsible adult human the first thing I sought to do was add liquor. This was the cocktail I decided to try and...and it's fine? It tastes like an infused vodka. I muddled a couple of pieces because one didn't seem to be enough and then I added ice to my glass because the initial flavor wasn't appealing to me. As it mellowed with the ice, the watermelon flavor took charge and I enjoyed it a bit more. It was novel, for sure. Next time I might skip the sugar syrup and add a bit of grenadine.

Simple but delicious. Great option for a hot summer day.

Perfect and refreshing. Use Watermelon liqueur instead of the simple syrup to intensify the melon flavour.
Had to estimate the amount of watermelon as I always buy the mini organic watermelons and they are a different size.
Drink is outstanding.

I cut the watermelon into 30 mm cubes and used 3 pieces to the shaker including all ingredients. Then meddled followed by a 30 second shake. Just like eating the fruit. Good very tasty, but I’m missing a cocktail taste. I tried the watermelon martini as prescribed but found it a bit tart. And slightly artificial. I’m thinking some muddled fruit in the watermelon martini will be trick yo an exceptionally fine cocktail.

I just used fresh watermelon juice, 50 ml worth the first time. I subbed in Bacardi Carta Blanca. 60-50 rum-to-watermelon may have been too boozy. 60-50 watermelon-to-rum had more fruit flavor. Not sure which I prefer. How about you?

Thanks for your reply, Simon. I see I misread the instructions. I understood it as “cut the segment of watermelon into sixteenths” but you meant “cut a whole watermelon into sixteenths”.
