Watermelon Daiquiri
• 4 cups chopped seedless watermelon (about 1 pound)
• Kosher salt
• 5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) White Rum (such as Khukri)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• ½ tablespoon agave nectar
• Ice cubes
• Watermelon slice
Directions
Process chopped watermelon in a blender until smooth for about 30 seconds. Pour it through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl to yield 1 1/2 cups watermelon juice (enough for 8 cocktails). Chill juice until ready to make cocktails.
Salt half the rim of a chilled glass. Add white rum, lime juice, agave nectar, and 3 tablespoons watermelon juice to a cocktail shaker filled three-fourths of the way with ice. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined. Strain into glass. Garnish with a watermelon slice.
