Cocktail
Prep watermelon and mint
Place 1 cup of cubed seedless watermelon and 4 of the mint leaves into a cocktail shaker or a sturdy mixing glass.
Muddle the watermelon and mint together until the watermelon is broken down and releases juice and the mint is fragrant. Aim for about 15–20 seconds of firm muddling.
Build the cocktail
Add 2 oz rose gin, 1 oz vodka, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to the shaker with the muddled watermelon and mint.
Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker (enough to chill well) and secure the lid.
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.
Strain and finish
Double-strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice (use a fine mesh strainer over the shaker's strainer to catch pulp and mint bits). If you prefer a lighter, fizzy finish, top with a 1 oz splash of club soda or lemon-lime seltzer.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry dropped on top and a sprig of mint. Clap the remaining 1–2 mint leaves between your palms once and tuck under the sprig for extra aroma (optional).
Serve immediately with a short straw or stirrer.
