Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed and frozen) Seedless watermelon
- 1.5 cups White rum
- 0.5 cups Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cups Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lime wedges
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Mint sprigs
Instructions
Begin by cutting the seedless watermelon into small cubes. Place 4 cups worth of cubes in a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Once the watermelon cubes are frozen, add them to a blender along with the white rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ice.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a small amount of water or additional rum to thin it out as needed.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.
Pour the frozen watermelon daiquiris into chilled glasses.
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing summer cocktail!
