It would be helpful to have a weight measurement for the watermelon. There are very little ones and very big ones. 1/16th isn’t helpful

This was delicious. Key is that your watermelon must be ripe and flavourful. Did adjust the sugar down as we find fruit cocktails a bit sweet for us. You get hints of basil, watermelon, and cucumber. Gin add some herbal notes. Also added a few drops of Difford's Daiquiri Bitters. Tamed the sweetness and added some additiona herbal tones.

Although I doubted this cocktail was convincing. I added a barspoon (0,5cl) lime juice (could be even more) and could also imagine some herbal liqueur as addition.

Bit too sweet for me; I would try half as much sugar syrup. Very refreshing though

We love savory, vegetal cocktails, but this is missing something.

I subbed the basil leaves out for a slice of cucumber and it worked a treat. Added an intense savoury note that you wouldn’t get from the basil.
