why it works

watermelon and mint are the summer power couple, and the lime keeps the whole thing from getting too sweet. gay water watermelon does the heavy lifting: it brings the fruit, the fizz and the vodka in one can, so the white rum is just there to make it a mojito on paper. the result drinks like a spiked agua fresca with a mint kick.

make it for a crowd

for a pitcher (6 drinks): muddle a big handful of mint with 3 oz lime juice in the bottom of the pitcher, add 6 oz white rum and a few cups of ice, then pour in 6 cans of gay water watermelon and stir once. don't shake carbonated things, ever. top glasses with watermelon cubes as people show up.

swaps

skip the rum and it's still a great drink at 80 calories a can. no fresh mint? a mint tea bag steeped in the lime juice for a minute works in a pinch. swap the watermelon cubes for frozen ones and they double as ice.

glass & garnish

a tall collins glass, packed with crushed ice. slap the mint sprig against your hand before it goes in (it wakes up the oils), and thread a few watermelon cubes on a pick. this is a poolside drink: it wants salty snacks next to it, tajín on fruit, chips, anything crunchy. it is also, structurally, the easiest drink on this list to make one-handed.

gay water is 80 calories, 0 sugar and 4% abv per can, so most of the calories in any of these come from what you add. must be 21+. drink responsibly.
