This recipe serves 1.
2 large strawberries, hulled, rinsed and coarsely chopped
1 cup of chopped, seedless watermelon
Juice of one lime
1-1/2 to 2 ounces of simple syrup, or to taste
5 mint leaves
2 ounces of good rum
Ice to fill glass
Club soda or lemon-lime soda
Lime curls and/or extra mint leaves, for garnish, optional
In a blender, whirl the strawberries and watermelon. Strain out pulp if desired. Add the lime juice and simple syrup. In a tall highball or collins glass, add the mint leaves and muddle with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, just enough to release the oils of the mint. Add 2 ounces of rum on top and fill glass with ice. Top it off with the strawberry watermelon mixture and a splash of lemon lime or club soda; stir well and garnish.
