Ingredients
-
4 cups chopped seedless watermelon (about 1 pound)
-
Kosher salt
-
5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) white rum (such as Ten To One)
-
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
-
½ tablespoon agave nectar
-
Ice cubes
-
Watermelon slice
Directions
-
Process chopped watermelon in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour processed watermelon through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a medium bowl to yield 1 1/2 cups watermelon juice (enough for 8 cocktails). Discard solids. Chill juice until ready to make cocktails.
-
Salt half the rim of a chilled coupe glass. Add white rum, lime juice, agave nectar, and 3 tablespoons watermelon juice to a cocktail shaker filled three- fourths of the way with ice. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined, about 10 seconds. Strain into coupe glass. Garnish with a watermelon slice.
