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.
