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”.
