DH and I aren't bourbon sippers, so the 1/2 cup required in this recipe doesn't justify my buying a bottle even to taste test; HOWEVER, don't let that stop you from giving it a shot. Then, let me know how it was, o.k? Sounds wonderfully cool and refreshing.
Ingredients:
4 -5 cups seedless watermelon, diced
1/2 cup bourbon
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
crushed ice
fresh mint sprig
Directions:
1. Combine watermelon, bourbon, mint leaves, sugar and lime juice in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
2. Mash the melon mixture with a potato masher; press mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher; discard solids.
3. Fill 4 (4 oz.) tumblers with crushed ice; top with watermelon mixture.
4. Garnish with mint sprigs.
