Watermelon Basil Gin Fizz
Watermelon, basil, and gin come together with a splash of sparkling water to create a refreshing cocktail perfect for summer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon cubed & seeds removed
- 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3 oz gin
- 2 cups sparkling water
Chili Salt (optional)
- ΒΌ cup salt
- 1 tsp coarse chili powder
- pinch of sugar
Instructions
- Add the watermelon and basil to a shaker and muddle until everything is smashed well.
- Add the lime juice and gin to the shaker, place the lid, and shake well for about 30 seconds.
- To make the chili salt, combine all three ingredients in a shallow plate. Rim your glasses with lime first and then rim it with the chili salt. The lime will help the salt stick to the glass.
