Now you might think ginger and watermelon are a strange combo but trust us-

This is my signature pride cocktail…now I know it’s not a traditional pride rainbow colour cocktailed but that’s not my style. Not that I don’t love a good rainbow – I just prefer an amazing cocktail that tastes great and isn’t simply vodka with food colouring. Not that there is anything wrong with that…
Ingredients
2 oz.
Patron Reposado
1 cup
of frozen seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 oz.
fresh lime juice
3/4 oz.
Cointreau liquer
1/2 oz.
ginger simple syrup
Instructions
Method:
- Cut seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes, arrange the watermelon cubes on a baking sheet and freeze for several hours or overnight until watermelon is frozen solid.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth but not too slushy. Make sure you have a strong blender that can crush ice well. Add more ice to adjust consistency if desired.
- Transfer the drink into a prepared cocktail glass or classic go-cup like we do in the south for outdoor socially distanced entertaining.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a small sprig of mint.
