Notes

Rum Infused Watermelon Fireworks Cocktail is a refreshing summer drink, perfect for hot days and outdoor gatherings. Watermelon is the star of the show, so make sure to choose a ripe and sweet one for the best flavor.

If you’re not using it immediately, you can store the diced watermelon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Don’t over-muddle the watermelon, as it can make the drink cloudy. Muddle just until you release the juices and flavors.

For a more intense watermelon flavor, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before adding it to the shaker.

If you don’t have blue curaçao, you can substitute it with a splash of blueberry syrup or a few blueberries muddled in the shaker. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with a splash of flavored soda or a fruity syrup.

You can also garnish with edible flowers or small flags on toothpicks to give it a festive touch.
