EASY WATERMELON MOJITO
One of my favorite things about summer is enjoying watermelon. I just love it's ripe juicy sweetness, and swear I could eat it every day.
But you know how when you cut up a watermelon, all that juice collects on the cutting board and in the bottom of the bowl where the pieces are? It sure seems a shame to waste all that delicious juice, don't you think?
I mean, I've collected up to a couple of cups of juice from cutting up a whole watermelon. And that stuff tastes just as good as biting into the watermelon flesh itself. Sure seems a shame to waste it to me!
Enter ... this easy Watermelon Mojito recipe.
Because with that tasty watermelon juice and this easy recipe, you can quickly be enjoying a super refreshing and delicious watermelon cocktail. All with something we typically disregard.
All it takes to make these Watermelon Mojitos is combining the usual mojito ingredients of fresh mint, fresh lime juice, and rum with a few ounces of watermelon juice. Simply muddle {squish} mint leaves in a glass with some fresh lime juice and touch of granulated sugar. Then add rum and watermelon juice, and top it all off with a splash of club soda.
Super easy!
Ingredients
Directions
Makes 1 large (12 oz.) or 2 smaller (6 oz.) cocktails.
Enjoy!

Simply muddle {squish} mint leaves in a glass with some fresh lime juice and touch of granulated sugar. Then add rum and watermelon juice, and top it all off with a splash of club soda.
Super easy!
Ingredients
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp. granulated sugar
- 5 oz. watermelon juice* {I save the juice "drippings" from when I cut up a whole watermelon}
- 3 oz. white rum
- about 3 oz. club soda or sparkling water
- lime wedges, mint, and watermelon wedges for garnish, if desired
Directions
- Place mint leaves, granulated sugar, and lime juice in a tall sturdy highball glass. With a wooden muddler or the back of a sturdy spoon, press and gently twist the mint leaves against the side of the glass. {Stop muddling when the mint is bruised and fragrant, but not yet torn, as tearing the mint too much can create a bitter taste.}
- Add watermelon juice and rum. Fill the glass 3/4 full with ice cubes or crushed ice. Fill the remainder of the glass with sparkling water or club soda. Stir thoroughly.
- Garnish with lime wedges, mint, and a watermelon wedge if desired, serve, and enjoy.
- * Save the juice "drippings" from cutting up a whole watermelon. Or, to make a larger amount of watermelon juice, place about 3 to 4 cups cubed watermelon in a food processor and pulse. Strain through colander to remove the pulp, reserving the juice.
Makes 1 large (12 oz.) or 2 smaller (6 oz.) cocktails.
Enjoy!
