Nightlife

Cocktail Of The Week

Watermelon-Infused-Mojito Border Grill, Mandalay $10

Justin Jimenez

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 oz. watermelon-infused

Montecristo Silver Rum

1.5 oz. house-made Sandia

5 mint leaves

2 lime wedges

Top with 7-Up

Garnish with house-made mint

sorbet

Montecristo Rum is fantastic enough, but bar manager Michael Harbour has injected his own innovation into the distilled sugarcane to give it more appeal. The house-made Sandia is actually just an advanced potion of watermelon juice, but you would be hard-pressed to find it anywhere else in the city. After the lime and the mint are thoroughly muddled with the rum, the sweet top of 7-Up balances the mixture perfectly. And while Ernest Hemingway might not have ordered his with sorbet, it is a delightful and refreshing twist on this versatile cocktail.
