Watermelon Coconut Rum Punch
Do you have a favorite go-to summer drink? For many its a cold, crisp glass of lemonade, or a fresh pour of iced tea. Don’t get me wrong – I really love both of these, especially my Ginger Peach Iced Tea, my Arnold Palmer Iced Tea and Sparkling Blackberry Lemonade. But sometimes a cold, refreshing cocktail is in order. Something fruity, crisp and with the addition of a fantastic rum is perfect on a warm summer day. My cool, fruity and refreshing Watermelon Coconut Rum Punch fits the bill perfectly!
Ingredients
- 6-7 c. fresh watermelon
- 3/4 c. lime juice (juice of 3 limes)
- 1 (33.8 oz.) bottle, sparkling coconut flavored water
- 1 c. coconut rum (like Malibu Rum, or other preferred rum)
- Lime Slices
- Garnishes:
- Watermelon slices for rim
- Lime slices for rim
- Flake coconut to top drinks
Instructions
- Fill a blender with the fresh watermelon. Add the lime juice. Blend until liquid. Pour into pitcher or drink dispenser, add the sparkling water, rum, and lime slices. Stir.
- Pour into glasses. Top glasses with watermelon slices, lime slices and coconut flakes if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
*To ensure drinks are cold, refrigerate all ingredients prior to mixing. Add ice to glasses if punch needs to be extra cold. *If you cannot find coconut flavored sparkling water, feel free to use a lemon-lime soda, like sprite or 7up. *For a stronger drink, consider adding less sparkling water and more rum.
