Watermelon Mojito is a refreshing summer cocktail made using fresh watermelon juice, white rum, and club soda. Make a big pitcher using a few simple ingredients in under 10 minutes.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 300 grams cubed watermelon chilled
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves packed, plus more for garnishing
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 8 fluid ounces white rum 1 cup
- lime rounds as required
- chilled club soda as required
- ice cubes as required
Instructions
- Add watermelon cubes to the large blender jar or a food processor and blend until smooth. Don’t bother if the watermelon has a few seeds. We are going to strain the juice anyway.
- Strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer in a bowl or a pitcher. Press with the back of a spoon to get maximum juice. Discard the pulp. Straining the juice gives a clear drink. Set aside.
- Add mint leaves to a large pitcher and muddle them using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add sugar and lime juice to the pitcher and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in the white rum and watermelon juice.
- Take 4 tall serving glasses and add 2-3 ice cubes, 2 lime rounds, and 2-3 mint leaves to each.
- Fill half the glasses with the watermelon juice mixture, then top with club soda. Garnish with a watermelon slice and mint leaves. Serve watermelon mojito immediately!
