Watermelon Old Fashioned

Nothing says summer like Watermelon. Let's make a Watermelon Old Fashioned

Watermelon Old Fashioned

Ingredients:

- 2 oz bourbon

- 2-3 small cubes of fresh watermelon

- 2 oz simple syrup

- 2 dashes Angostura bitters

- Ice cubes

- Watermelon slice or twist for garnish

Instructions:

1. Place the fresh watermelon cubes in an Old Fashioned glass.

2. Gently muddle the watermelon cubes to release their juice and flavor. Don't over-muddle to avoid making it too pulpy.

3. Add the simple syrup and Angostura bitters to the glass.

4. Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour the bourbon over the ice.

5. Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors and chill the drink.

6. Garnish with a slice of watermelon or a twist of watermelon rind. Add a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
