First, create the watermelon purée: In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped seedless watermelon until completely smooth. (Approximately 2 minutes)

Step

Next, prepare the cocktail shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker generously with ice cubes.

03

Step
2 mins

Add the ingredients: Pour 4 fluid ounces of the fresh watermelon purée, light rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup into the ice-filled shaker.

04

Step
1 mins

Shake vigorously: Secure the lid tightly and shake well until the shaker is well-chilled. (Approximately 15-20 seconds)

05

Step
1 mins

Serve: Strain the cocktail into a pint glass filled with ice.

06

Step

Garnish: Garnish with fresh lime wedges and serve immediately.

For a sweeter cocktail, adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preference.
If you don't have simple syrup on hand, you can easily make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, heating until the sugar dissolves, and then cooling completely.
Consider chilling the watermelon before blending for an extra refreshing touch.
For a visually stunning cocktail, consider using a decorative glass and adding a watermelon wedge to the rim.
