Watermelon is the epitome of summer!! I was thinking of a nice refreshing summer sipper. I also love the freshness of cucumber and combined these two flavours to come up with this drink. You will love this on a hot summer day!!!
Serves 4
4 cups watermelon, cubed
4 oz. Bacardi white rum
3 oz. simple syrup infused with cucumber
Soda Water or sparkling water
Watermelon and cucumber to garnish
Cucumber simple syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 small cucumbers, grated
Place sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium low heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add the cucumber and pour the syrup into a sealed container and place it into the refrigerator to cool. Add the watermelon, rum, 3 oz. simple syrup into a blender and blend. Pour into 4 glasses with ice, top with soda water. Use extra watermelon and cucumber to garnish.
This looks so refreshing. Perfect for our hot hot summer. Great picture.
Oh wow. Sounds yummy and refreshing. Love your pictures too! Perfect post for the 100+ degree days we’re having here in the midwest right now.
This looks AWESOME!
Yum!! I MUST try this!!
Thank you for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer.. From Dream To Reality!
Thanks everyone. I hope you try it!!
What a beautiful drink! I love the watermelon and the cucumber combo. So refreshing!
Thanks, I could personally go for another right about now!!
Now we only need a hot summer day …
Making this, non-alcoholic, for my Bible study group tomorrow night!
I hope you love it. Thanks for trying it!!
this is also great if you substitute the watermelon for pineapple
What a beautiful drink this makes. It sounds like it would taste good. Melons and cucumbers are from the same family if I remember right, so they should blend well. I wonder what a cantalope and cucumber drink would taste like.
I have to try cantalope and cucumber, sounds amazing, thanks for coming over!!
This looks good. I think for my family, I would substitute the rum with some cub soda. I can see it at a family picnic served out of a airpot at the park.
By the way, I think you have a beautiful header, with the fruits and vegetables. They are so colorful.
Thanks so much for coming over Annette and for taking the time to leave a comment. We appreciate it!!! I hope you do enjoy it at your family picnic!!
I am TOTALLY going to make this. Sounds perfectly delicious!

Enjoy, if you don’t like rum you can change it up to vodka, that would be good in there too!
What an interesting flavor combination Tara! Love the photo too!
Thank you so much Martha!
This makes me long for summer. I’m over winter already!
I agree, I could go for one on a hot day!!
