This riff on an agua fresca makes for a refreshing drink to pair with Mexican food. Serve it as a mocktail or add a jigger of tequila, gin or vodka as they do at Tankard & Tun in Seattle. The watermelon cocktail is a welcome alternative to the usual margarita.
Ingredients
Drink
½ oz. simple syrup
2 slices cucumber
3 sprigs mint
4 oz. watermelon juice
2 oz. tequila, gin or vodka
Garnish
1 cube watermelon
1 slice cucumber
1 mint leaf
1 bar skewer
Steps
For each serving, combine syrup, cucumber slices and mint sprigs in bottom of cocktail shaker; muddle to crush ingredients.
Add watermelon juice and spirits, if using. Shake to combine and strain into tall 10-ounce glass. Add ice cubes to chill.
For garnish, skewer watermelon cube, cucumber slice and mint leaf; place across top of glass. Serve immediately.
