Honestly such a refreshing concoction with a little savory note from the feta garnish (can we normalize cheese garnishes please?). This is like drinking a delicious and healthy salad. All these ingredients, from the rum to the feta, I got from a recent Trader Joe’s grocery haul which is lovely to not bounce around to different stores for things. This drink SMACKS like how I smack my mint. Cheers!

Muddle watermelon cubes with the lime juice, smack and rip the mint leaves, and add the rest of the ingredients to a shaker tin filled with ice. Shake and strain into a Collins glass with fresh ice. Garnish with skewered feta cheese cubes and a mint bouquet. PRO TIP: smack the mint bouquet on the back of your hand before garnishing the glass to express the oils and make it more aromatic.
Editor's Note
Watermelon and mint provide a refreshing base, though the feta garnish introduces a bold, savory contrast that challenges traditional cocktail profiles.

Definitely need to bring the cheese garnish back. This sounds so refreshing.
