Serves 1
The menu at Cha Bella changes to highlight ingredients that are available seasonally, locally and often fresh from the restaurant’s own garden. Its cocktail offerings are no exception. Sweet watermelon and tart lemon juices, spiked with rum, served in a tall glass and sipped through a straw, evoke the very best of summer.
2 lemons, juiced
Pinch of sugar
2 ounces heirloom seedless watermelon, juiced
1 1/2 ounces light rum
Watermelon, sliced into thin wedges
Stir lemon juice and sugar together. Combine all ingredients and shake with ice. Pour the lemonade into a tumbler. Garnish with a watermelon wedge.
