Equipment
- 1 blender
- 1 Fine-mesh Seive
- 1 Cocktail Shaker
- 1 Glass
- 1 Muddler or Back of Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Ripe Watermelon Cubed
- 10 -12 Leaves Fresh Mint
- 1 Lime Wedges
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar (To taste)
- 2 Oz White Rum
- 1 Club Soda As Needed
- 2 Ice Cubes
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Mojito.
