Make Ahead: Prepare the simple syrup by heating equal parts water and sugar until dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Place the watermelon, basil and salt in a cocktail shaker.
Muddle
until well smashed and soupy.
Add the gin, lime juice and simple syrup. Fill with ice, place the lid on the shaker and shake well—30 seconds or so.
Pour into a glass and garnish with extra watermelon and basil.
