Makes 8 drinks | Prep Time: 15 Mins
Adapted from Food & Wine

Ingredients:

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 cups diced seedless watermelon
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 calamansi limes (juice only), optional
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, plus 8 sprigs for garnish

Method:

In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a simmer. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute; let the sugar syrup cool.

In a blender, puree the watermelon until smooth. Strain the watermelon juice, pressing gently on the pulps to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.

In a pitcher, combine the sugar syrup with the lime juice, calamansi juice and mint leaves. Using a wooden spoon, lightly muddle the mint. Add the watermelon juice and tequila. Add ice to the cocktail and
garnish with the mint sprigs and serve cold.
