Why it’s amazing. Because I made it
What booze used and its harmony with the other ingredients.
White Rum provides the drink with the fortification the drink needs as well as adding a touch of sweetness, adding lemon juice to the drink provides it with a tang which will help enhance the fruit. Adding Watermelon gives the drink a fruity burst and mint gives it a herbaceous, refreshing finish.
Ingredients:
30mls White Rum
20mls Lemon
10mls Simple Syrup
