Chill Out With the New “Watermelon Smash” At Rhumbar

As the temperature on the Las Vegas Strip keeps climbing, RHUMBAR, the stylish drink spot with a Strip-view patio, introduces a refreshing way keep cool. The mouthwatering “Watermelon Smash” cocktail fuses cool seasonal watermelon with crisp cucumber, tangy lemon and Jose Cuervo Platino tequila for a delicious, fruity summer libation.

The summer cocktail recipe, crafted by lead mixologist Kristen Schaefer, combines fresh cuts of seasonal watermelon muddled together with slices of crisp cucumber, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, Aperol liqueur and Cuervo Platino.

“The sweetness of the watermelon and crisp cucumber pairs nicely with the smooth, earthy tones of the Platino. Aperol adds a hint of herbal undertones to balance the sweetness, leaving your mouth watering for another sip.”

Guests can enjoy the invigorating cocktail out on RHUMBAR’s lush patio retreat for a tropical experience in the heart of the desert. It can also be paired with the smooth undertones of the Montecristo cigar for a flavorful fusion of balanced tastes.
