Steps:
- Arrange watermelon evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until completely frozen, at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Bring water and sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mint. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a small airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or for up to 2 weeks).
- Transfer the frozen watermelon to a blender. Add ice, rum, lime juice, bitters and 1/4 cup of the chilled mint syrup. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Divide between 2 glasses; garnish with additional mint and/or lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- **Choose ripe watermelon:** The sweeter the watermelon, the tastier the martini will be. Look for watermelons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. - **Freeze the watermelon in advance:** This will help the martini get icy cold and slushy. Cut the watermelon into chunks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. - **Use fresh lime juice:** Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the martini. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter. - **Don't skimp on the vodka:** Vodka is the base of the martini, so make sure you use a good quality vodka. A smooth, clean vodka will help the martini taste its best. - **Garnish with a lime wedge:** A lime wedge adds a pop of color and flavor to the martini. It's also a classic garnish for a martini. ***Conclusion:
Frozen watermelon martinis are a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy the summer. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like them sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, there's a frozen watermelon martini recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing drink, give a frozen watermelon martini a try. You won't be disappointed.
