Description

While the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” might apply when referring to this traditional cocktail, I had a piece of watermelon in my fridge that was begging to live another day.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups 1/2-inch Cubes Watermelon
  • 12 leaves (medium To Large) Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 6 ounces, fluid Light Rum
  • 4 slices Lime
  • 4 sprigs Mint

Preparation

Place watermelon cubes in a blender. Blend until smooth.

In a small pitcher, combine fresh mint leaves, sugar, and fresh lime juice. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle the ingredients to release the oils from the mint. Take care not to muddle to the point where the leaves fall apart. Pour rum and the watermelon puree into the pitcher and stir gently.

Fill four tall glasses (such as Collins glasses) with ice and divide the mojito amongst the glasses. Garnish with lime slices and mint sprigs, and serve immediately.

This was a really good mojito recipe. I have found other recipes to be a bit too sweet, but this was a great! Definitely a perfect refreshing summer drink!!

A great mojito! We made ours with frozen watermelon (instead of using the ice) and needed to add a little rum to the blender to get it to blend. I drank mine with this little rum and my husband added to the usual amount. Perfect blend of mint and lime, and so refreshing after a long summer day! A new favorite use for watermelon.
