Watermelon Sugar Cocktail Recipe

Sure water is great for making ice, but ever used watermelon cubes instead? Well, now is your moment, because you're about to shake up the drink of the summer. And it's just as sweet as Harry Styles singing. Topped up with the bright zing of lime juice, the zesty fruity cubes cool down a tasty muddle of basil and gin before being topped with bubbly sparkling water and cucumber. Summer, we're ready for you.
