Watermelon Mojito

1. Cut the watermelon into quarters and then into smaller cubes. Blend in a food processor. Depending on the size of your processor, you may need to work in batches.

2. After all the watermelon has been pureed, pour it through a medium mesh strainer. This is to separate the pulp from the actual watermelon juice. Discard the pulp.

3. Make the simple syrup: Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until all the sugar dissolves. Take off heat, add in mint leaves and cover tightly for 30 minutes. Let cool completely.

4. Juice 4 limes and pour into the watermelon juice mix. Stir.

5. Combined the simple syrup (complete with mint leaves) into the watermelon juice.

6. Add club soda and rum.

7. If necessary, taste and adjust for more mint, lime juice, etc.

8. Serve in tall glasses with ice and garnish with lime wedges and mint. Enjoy!
