A year round refresher for you today – Watermelon Cooler
Ingredients:
Watermelon (half)
Water
Ice
Sugar syrup (left over from my poached apricots)
Lemon juice
White rum (entirely optional)
Watermelon spears for garnish
Method:
Cut the rind off the watermelon and cut the flesh up
into chunks – I didn't take the seeds out at this stage
Add a little water and blend with a stick blender. Strain the result so you capture the seeds at
this stage.
Add your sugar syrup, lemon juice and rum and blend up
along with some ice cubes. I used about
2 teaspoons only of rum – it was going to be drunk in the afternoon. More would be fun too.
Serve with a watermelon spear for garnish.
Wow, I wish I had some of that right now. Looks so refreshing. I am copying the recipe down so I can make me some.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling much, much better now. This drink sounds soooooo perfect for summer. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteMeant to say I like that mason jar mug too
DeleteCool idea for a drinking vessel - the honorable Mason jar. Refreshing drink too, I need to wait until it's warmer here.
