Bourbon Watermelon Smash

It's a season of watermelon.

We sprinkle a pinch of salt on a slice of watermelon in Japan. This way, watermelon tastes sweeter, but this must sound weird to people outside Japan.
JC was so surprised when he saw me eating watermelon with salt, then he tried too and admitted that the pinch of salt enhanced the sweetness, but he never tried again.

Although salt makes watermelon sweet,  if it is too green, even a pinch of salt can't save it.
When this happens, JC makes cocktail.

Bourbon Watermelon Smash

Ingredients are:
Watermelon syrup (juice and sugar ratio 50:50)
Bourbon
Lemon
Mint

He didn't want to have cooked flavor, so made watermelon syrup uncooked.

Summer cocktail, flavor-wise and visual-wise.
This is a simple cocktail so the balance is the key.
