Summer is the perfect time for a cool, refreshing cocktail.

Tamarind in Wethersfield and Thai Palace in Bloomfield are currently serving a delicious watermelon mojito.

To make this drink, start off with a couple slices of cucumber and two or three Thai basil leaves. Put them in a glass and muddle it up a bit. You don’t need to crush everything, just bruise it up a bit.

Then put some ice in a shaker. Add Bacardi Grand Melon – a watermelon flavored rum – to the cucumber and Thai basil mix.

Pour the mix into the ice and shake. With a strainer on top of the shaker, pour the mix into a martini glass, add a splash of soda, and garnish with a slice of cucumber on the rim.

Delicious!
