Ingredients

2 cups ripe watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
10-12 fresh mint leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
2 ounces white rum
Club soda
Ice cubes
Watermelon slices and mint sprigs for garnish

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon Puree

Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp and seeds. Set aside the watermelon juice.

Step 2: Muddle the Ingredients

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the mint leaves and lime wedges.
Add the granulated sugar.
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and lime together. This helps release the mint’s oils and the lime’s juice, combining them with the sugar to create a flavorful base.

Step 3: Combine and Mix

Add the watermelon juice and white rum to the muddled mixture.
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes.
Stir or shake well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 4: Serve

Fill a serving glass with ice cubes.
Pour the watermelon-rum mixture over the ice.
Top off with club soda to add a fizzy finish.
Garnish with a slice of watermelon and a sprig of mint.

Step 5: Enjoy

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Mojito Cocktail.
