These coolers were so refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. The only thing I would change is to add a little bit of extra rum. :)

I'm not a big fan of watermelon, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this drink. The lime and mint really balanced out the sweetness of the watermelon.

These coolers were a disappointment. The watermelon flavor was weak and the drink was too sweet.

Meh, not my favorite. I found the drink to be too sweet and the watermelon flavor was a bit overpowering.
