0.50 oz. – Watermelon Syrup (see directions below the image)

2-3 Dashes Absinthe

Build all ingredients in Collins glass or footed glass; fill glass with crushed or pebble ice.
Swizzle with swizzle stick until glass is frosty.
Top with more crushed/pebble ice.
Garnish with mint bouquet, pineapple fronds, and orchid.

Note: This drink is about as Louisiana as you can get. My recommendation is to use Sugartown watermelons when in season for a real Louisiana flavor! For the aged Jamaican rum, anything that is a little higher in ABV is recommended)

Watermelon Syrup:
1 – Sugartown Watermelon
Equal Parts Granulated Sugar

Juice one watermelon and fine strain the juice.
Combine in blender with equal parts sugar.
Blend until sugar is fully dissolved.
