Juicing a watermelon is easy; I just cut it up into chunks and muddle it in a shaker, then squeeze it through a strainer. You can also purée it in a blender before straining out the seeds and pulp.

This cocktail is named after the watermelon-smashing comedian of the same name.

Steps

1. Shake the first four ingredients, then strain into an ice-filled collins glass. Top with soda and stir.
2. Garnish with a skewered chunk of watermelon, or with pickled watermelon rind if you’re feeling especially ambitious.
