Summer Vibe
Summer is undoubtedly is the most favorite season for most of us for the variety of fruits. However, we must admit that the most important fruit of summer is the watermelon. Well, at least it is that way for us. Lately, I started to get many requests for a watermelon cocktail and I realized that I have none. Since the weather is getting hotter, it is definitely the right time to make a refreshing cocktail in a tall glass and of course using watermelon. Ingredient-wise, it is like a mojito but I preferred to prepare it as a shaken cocktail instead of building in a glass. I really like the harmony of rum, watermelon, elderflower and basil, it is so refreshing.
Ingredients
- 50 ml White rum
- 50 ml Watermelon juice
- 20 ml Lime juice
- 20 ml Elderflower syrup
- 4-5 Basil leave
Instructions
- Gently smack the basil leaves and drop them in your shaker. Add the rest of the ingredients and shake well with ice. Double strain into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. Cheers! 🍉
