Watermelon Mojito

A fresh, blended watermelon mojito with muddled mint, white rum, and a splash of club soda — the most refreshing backyard cocktail of the season.
Makes: 2 Cocktails
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients:  

  • 2 cups fresh seedless watermelon cubed
  • 3 oz white rum Bacardi or similar
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 12 –14 fresh mint leaves plus extra sprigs for garnish
  • Club soda to top
  • Ice
  • 2 small watermelon wedges and lime wheels for garnish

Instructions: 

  • Add the cubed watermelon to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp. You should have about 1 cup of fresh watermelon juice. Set aside.
  • Divide the fresh mint leaves between two highball glasses. Add a squeeze of lime and muddle gently until the mint is fragrant — be careful not to over-muddle or the mint will turn bitter.
  • Fill each glass with ice. Pour ½ cup of the fresh watermelon juice into each glass, followed by 1½ oz of white rum and a splash of simple syrup.
  • Top each glass generously with club soda and stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish each with a fresh mint sprig, a small watermelon wedge on the rim, and a lime wheel. Serve immediately.
