Looking for the perfect summer cocktail? Look no further than my version of a Watermelon Cooler. Combining watermelon and coconut water in one drink creates a delicious and refreshing duo. The addition of rum or tequila in the mix adds a much needed kick in the recipe. And the green garnish of fresh basil or mint leaves will tickle your senses as you go for every sip.
The recipe below serves 2-3 depending on the glass. So multiply as needed.
Also this recipe can be turned into a mocktail by excluding the spirit.
