Ingredients

¾ cup sugar
¾ cup water
1 cup fresh lime juice
3 cups white rum
4 cups seedless watermelon chunks
1 cup raspberries
sparkling soda or water chilled

Garnish

Watermelon slice, raspberries, and lime wedge

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.
In a blender, combine the sugar syrup, lime juice, rum and watermelon chunks and raspberries and blend until combined; strain over a large bowl to remove raspberry seeds if desired.
Pour into chilled glasses filled with ice, top with sparkling soda and garnish with watermelon, raspberries and lime.

Notes

Want a mocktail? So easy...simply eliminate the vodka and add a bit of sparkling soda or a fizzy soda like 7-up. I think ginger beer might be great too!
