Typsy Thursday: Watermelon Slim

What is better than a slice of watermelon on a boiling hot summer day? Watermelon Refresher is! It’s watermelon juice with a kick. You can use any white rum, but my absolute favorite is Barbancourt rum. It just tastes enough tonicy with the perfect amount of bubbles.


I love sitting in the garden (in the shade) on a particularly hot day (like today) and sipping Watermelon Slim to cool me down. Now if I could only add some breeze…
