Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Fresh Watermelon - cubed
  • 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 1/4 oz Simple Syrup
  • 6 leaves Fresh Mint
  • 3 oz Gin

Instructions
 

  • In a cocktail shaker glass muddle and crush all of the watermelon cubes until they liquify and create a good amount of juice.
  • Splash in fresh-squeezed lime juice and simple syrup. Tear up the fresh mint leaves into pieces and toss into the shaker.
  • Add gin and fill the shaker the rest of the way full with ice. Cover and shake vigorously until the ice crushes the mint leaves and everything is chilled and combined. Strain cocktail over fresh into a tall glass and garnish with fresh mint and watermelon. Serve right away nice and chilled.
  • Serve as is or top off with a dash of sparkling water, if desired.
