This refreshing rum beverage is an alcoholic smoothie you will want to try before the end of the summer. Created by Sugar and Cloth, the Watermelon Papaya Rum Smoothie contains lots of exotic fruit, making it at least partially healthy whilst you get your buzz on.
Perfect for enjoying poolside, the cocktail could easily be altered to become a virgin version of the drink. If you want to recreate this rum beverage at home, you will need frozen and cubed watermelon, a pinch of salt, white rum, fresh pineapple, frozen papaya, orange juice, coconut milk and agave syrup for sweetener. The coconut milk replaces the yogurt you might find in a smoothie, making it creamier and more tropical.
