Cooking time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp Acai Flavoured Syrup
(optional)
120 ml Cachaca
or White Rum
0 - Ice Cubes
(to fill the glass)
2 tsp Lime Juice
2 tbsp Sugar
200 g SuperValu Watermelon
(cubed, ripe, chilled)

Method

In a mixing bowl, or blender, combine the watermelon, cachaça, Acai syrup, sugar and lime juice.
Using a mortar, crunch the watermelon cubes to release their juice, but don't completely liquify them; or, if using the blender, pulse until desired consistency - leave some small chunks of pulp.
Fill a large tumbler glass with ice, then pour the drink over it.
Do not strain the drink; instead, leave the seeds and chunks of pulp in it to add to its flavour and texture.

Serve immediately.
