Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 cup water
• 3 leaves fresh mint
• ⅓ cup white rum
• 1 small seedless watermelon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Remove rind from watermelon; dice into large cubes. Add watermelon, water, sugar, and mint leaves to an electric blender. Blend until pureed.

Step 2

Pour in rum and give it a couple of stirs to incorporate. Pour mixture into a 9x12-inch pan and place in the freezer for 4 hours. Scrape the mixture with a fork every 1 to 2 hours. It will not freeze completely due to the rum.

Step 3

Serve in a shallow bowl or a nice glass.
