Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Fresh watermelon
- 15 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.75 cup White rum
- 0.25 cup Simple syrup
- 2 cups Club soda
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 4 pieces Mint sprigs
Instructions
Place the diced watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove the pulp.
In a large pitcher, combine the mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to gently crush the mint leaves, releasing their oils and aroma.
Pour the strained watermelon juice, white rum, and simple syrup into the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher, then top off the drink with club soda. Stir gently to mix without deflating the soda.
Taste the mojito mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.
To serve, divide the drink among four glasses. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Add additional ice if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Mojitos!
