Steps:
- Puree watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor until smooth. Press through a fine sieve into a large bowl and discard solids. Measure 3 cups strained juice.

Bring 1/2 cup watermelon juice and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Strain into a bowl set in ice water bath. Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups watermelon juice and the lemon juice.
- Let stand, stirring often, until just beginning to gel, 15 to 20 minutes. Divide among 4 glasses. Garnish with watermelon cubes. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Top with rose hip-hibiscus "ice cubes" if desired, and garnish with mint or basil sprigs.

Inspired by visions of clear blue water, sandy toes, and a cold drink dripping with condensation, you opt for a very Summer Friday libation. This refreshing watermelon mint & basil margarita is the perfect warm weather companion, whether you're relaxing on a rooftop in Brooklyn or a beach in Mexico (we'll keep our harbored resentment to ourselves). Like keeping things spicy? Substitute your favorite mezcal and a chili-salt rim to garnish.

- Add some sparkling water or club soda: This will give your cooler a fizzy and refreshing twist.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime wedges: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your cooler.
