Watermelon Rum Drink
Watermelon rum drink gives a fresh, juicy taste that feels light and naturally sweet from ripe watermelon. The rum adds a smooth warm kick that blends softly with citrus from lime and orange liqueur.
Equipment
- Blender or muddler
- Mixing glass or cocktail shaker
- Fine mesh strainer
- Knife and cutting board
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups diced seedless watermelon ≈ 200–205 g
- 1/2 cup rum white or dark (≈ 120 ml / 115–120 g)
- Juice of 1 lime ≈ 2 tablespoons / 30 ml / 30 g
- 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur triple sec (≈ 30 ml / 30 g)
Instructions
- Place the diced watermelon into a blender and blend it until it turns into a smooth, juice-like liquid. If you prefer a clearer drink, strain the juice to remove any pulp.
- Transfer the watermelon juice into a shaker or a mixing glass.
- Add the rum, fresh lime juice, and triple sec. If you want it extra chilled, add a few ice cubes. Stir or shake everything well until it is fully combined.
- Pour the finished drink into a serving glass. Serve it right away, and if you like, decorate it with a lime wedge or a slice of watermelon for a fresh touch.
