Is there anything better than consuming food or drink out of the vessel it originally came in? Think about it. Coconut drinks on the beach. Pineapple drinks on the beach. Watermelon drinks on the...ok so maybe there's a common theme here. There's just something about drinking out of a fruit drink that can instantly transport you to a tropical state of mind. Which is exactly what we needed since all summer long we spoke about going to the downtown restaurant Patois to drink out of a watermelon (we did make it there once but the wait was two hours long). So of course, we decided to make our own, which wasn't too hard except for the de-seeding part (note to self: buy a seedless watermelon). Enjoy this drink while the watermelons last and you'll be able to taste the sun, for real.
Ingredients:
1 watermelon
½ pineapple, peeled & chopped
1 mango, peeled & chopped
½ cup fresh basil
1 lime, juiced
4 shots rum
4 shots tequila
lavender, for garnish (optional)
½ pineapple, peeled & chopped
1 mango, peeled & chopped
½ cup fresh basil
1 lime, juiced
4 shots rum
4 shots tequila
lavender, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh using a spoon, leaving about a ½-inch-thick skin
- Combine the watermelon flesh, pineapple, mango, basil, lime juice, rum and tequila in a food processor or blender
- Purée until completely incorporated
- Divide your watermelon drink evenly between the two watermelon halves and garnish with lavender, if desired!
Enjoy!
