Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Fresh watermelon
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 slice (optional, for garnish) Watermelon wedge
- 1 sprig (optional, for garnish) Mint sprig
Instructions
Place the diced watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp, collecting the watermelon juice in a bowl or measuring cup.
In a sturdy glass, add the mint leaves, lime juice, and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves, releasing their aroma without tearing them.
Add the watermelon juice and white rum to the glass, stirring gently to combine.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some room for club soda.
Top off the drink with club soda and give another gentle stir to mix.
Garnish with a small watermelon wedge and a sprig of mint, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Watermelon Mojito!
