Refreshing Watermelon Mint Cooler Cocktail Recipe
Today, we're excited to share the recipe for our delicious Watermelon Mint Cooler cocktail. This refreshing drink is the perfect way to beat the summer heat. Made with fresh watermelon, mint leaves, lime, and a splash of blanco tequila, this cocktail is a healthy and flavorful choice.
To start, we'll add half a lime and about five to six mint leaves to our shaker. Give it a gentle muddle to release the flavors and oils from the mint leaves. Next, add one and a half ounces of blanco tequila, specifically Terimana Tequila that we used in our previous recipe video, the Sugar-Free Paloma. We're now ready to add two ounces of fresh watermelon juice. If you're using a small watermelon like we did, cut it into chunks and extract the juice.
Once all the ingredients are in the shaker, add a generous amount of ice and give it a good shake. To ensure a smooth and well-strained drink, you'll need both a regular strainer and a very fine strainer. Carefully pour the drink through both strainers into a flute glass, capturing any stray bits of mint or watermelon. The vibrant red color of the watermelon is truly refreshing.
For a final touch, garnish your drink with a sprig of fresh mint. It adds a delightful aroma and makes the presentation even more enticing. Take a sip and savor the cool and crisp flavors of watermelon and mint with a hint of citrus from the lime.
We hope you enjoy making and sipping this Watermelon Mint Cooler cocktail as much as we do.
