While rum is already a great option for summer drinks, Captain Morgan's is giving fans even more ways to indulge with its new Watermelon Smash.
Just as the name suggests, Captain Morgan's new Watermelon Smash is a delicious mashup of the brand's signature Caribbean rum and the sweet, juicy taste of everyone's favorite summer fruit. On it's own, the rum is described as having the same sweet flavor as a watermelon-flavored Jolly Rancher candy, making it a perfect option for those who enjoy their shots or cocktails on the sweeter side.
As if the flavor weren't enough to entice consumers, Watermelon Smash also comes in a fun, watermelon-shaped bottle paired with scratch 'n' sniff paper that give off the distinct smell of freshly cut watermelon.
