Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by rimming a cocktail glass with Tajin seasoning. To do this, moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into a plate of Tajin to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Juice the Watermelon

    Cut a fresh watermelon into chunks and blend it in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to extract the juice. Measure out 4 oz of fresh watermelon juice.

Mixing the Cocktail

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Plantation Three Star Rum, 4 oz of fresh watermelon juice, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 10 fresh mint leaves.

  2. 4

    Shake It Up

    Add ice cubes to the shaker, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Serving the Cocktail

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice or serve straight up, depending on your preference.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with a watermelon wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
