Built on the backbone of deep, warm, aged rum, The Villa created the Firecracker Cocktail to be a refreshing, bright drink with a kick. Starting with citrusy and fruity notes from the watermelon, Triple Sec, and freshly squeezed lime juice, the flavors deepen with the rich, smooth notes of the aged rum. Then, get a hit of firecracker spice with cayenne pepper that gives a nice little spicy tingle on the back of your tongue. Experience this adventure while relaxing in the breezeway or shooting darts in the game room.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ oz of aged rum
  • ½ oz Triple Sec
  • ½ oz Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed)
  • ½ oz Simple Syrup
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 2 1-inch-cubed Watermelon Chunks
  • Lime wedge for garnish

Directions

  1. Fill the shaker with ice, add your ingredients, and shake vigorously.
  2. Strain the mixture into a glass with ice.
  3. Garnish with a wedge of lime and your watermelon cubes.
  4. Enjoy!
