Watermelon Mint Mojito

This drink says it’s summertime!

  • 20 mint leaves

  • 2 oz lime juice

  • 1 cup watermelon chunks

  • 4 oz light rum

  • 1 oz simple syrup, optional, if your watermelon is very sweet you may not need it

  • Cold sparkling water or club soda

  • 2 watermelon balls for garnish

  • Mint leaves

Place mint leaves, lime juice, and watermelon in a cocktail shaker and muddle well to release mint oil in leaves and crush watermelon. Add rum, simple syrup, and ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain contents into 2 glasses filled with ice. Or, if you prefer, do not strain for a more fruity drink. Top off with sparkling water. Garnish with watermelon balls and mint leaves.
