Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz white rum
  • Handful of frozen watermelon cubes
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup optional, depending on sweetness of watermelon
  • 1 oz plain yogurt
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • Garnish: watermelon wedge and mint leaves

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, ground cardamom, and black pepper until smooth and airy. Set aside.
  • In a blender, combine frozen watermelon cubes, white rum, and simple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and slushy.
  • Pour the yogurt mixture into your glass. Gently top with the watermelon-rum blend to create a layered effect.
  • Add a few watermelon wedge and a fresh mint sprig on top.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use chilled yogurt for a cooler, more refreshing experience.
  • Add a few ice cubes to the blender for an extra-slushy texture.
  • To swirl instead of layer, stir gently after combining for a marbled effect.
