DH and I aren't bourbon sippers, so the 1/2 cup required in this recipe doesn't justify my buying a bottle even to taste test; HOWEVER, don't let that stop you from "giving it a shot." Then, let me know how it was, o.k? Sounds wonderfully cool and refreshing.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4-5 cups seedless watermelon, diced
1/2 cup bourbon
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
crushed ice
fresh mint sprig

Directions

1
Combine watermelon, bourbon, mint leaves, sugar and lime juice in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
2
Mash the melon mixture with a potato masher; press mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher; discard solids.
3
Fill 4 (4 oz.) tumblers with crushed ice; top with watermelon mixture.
4
Garnish with mint sprigs.
