Watermelon splash is a super refreshing summer cocktail made with fresh watermelon juice, white rum, and lime juice. Sip this on the beach or sitting poolside and you can’t go wrong.
Have you found your signature watermelon summer cocktail yet?????
I feel like we all need one.
Especially after working all weekend and still having another five full workdays left to go before the next day off. The twelve day in a row workweek struggle is REAL, y’all.
MAJOR plus when that cocktail involves exactly three minutes of work and can be in a glass with a little umbrella in it faster than you can say WATERMELON.
Also it has the cutest cocktail name ever. See above.
So the major steps of this cocktail involve:
pureeing fresh watermelon into juice
lime juicing
opening up a bottle of rum
stirring
And the end result is the most DELICIOUS sweet lightly spiced tart RUM-TASTIC drink.
Bottoms up!
- 2 cups fresh watermelon juice
- 1½ cups chilled white rum
- ¾ cup chilled 1:1 simple syrup
- ¾ cup fresh lime juice
- ½ cup Peychaud's bitters
- lime wheels, mint sprigs, and watermelon wedges for garnish
- To make the batch, stir together the watermelon juice, white rum, simple syrup, lime juice, and bitters in a 2 quart pitcher. This can be done up to 2 hours before serving.
- Before serving, stir well. Add ice. Pour into rocks glasses filled with ice and garnish with lime wheels, mint sprigs, and/or watermelon wedges as desired.
YUM! Bookmarked.
I’m all in on this. Tonight even!
