Frozen Watermelon Five-Spice Daiquiri

• For the five-spice simple syrup (makes about 6 fluid ounces):
• 4 ounces water
• 4 ounces granulated or evaporated cane sugar
• 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
• For the daiquiri:
• 4 ounces white rum
• 1 1/2 ounces fresh-pressed lime juice
• 1 1/2 ounces five-spice simple syrup
• 12 ounces watermelon cubes, frozen
• 2 dashes angostura bitters (optional)

1. Combine water and sugar in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat, swirling occasionally until sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer. Remove from heat, add the five-spice powder, and stir to combine. Cover and allow to come to room temperature.
2. Strain syrup through a coffee filter-lined strainer. This will take awhile. Store in the refrigerator in a jar or other air-tight container. It will keep for about 1 month.
3. Combine all ingredients in blender. Pulse until the watermelon is mostly broken up, then blend continuously on high for 30 to 60 seconds. The mixture should be smooth and a slightly paler pink than when you started.
4. Divide between 2 chilled 10-ounce glasses. Serve immediately.
