Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Watermelon Mojitos.
Step 1
Start by blending fresh, cubed watermelon in your blender until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 2
Once blended, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to separate the pulp, measuring out 2 cups of the vibrant watermelon juice and setting it aside for later.
Step 3
In a pitcher, add a handful of fresh mint leaves, then pour in half of the watermelon juice.
Step 4
Using a muddler or the bottom of a wooden spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their aromatic flavor, creating a refreshing base for your drink.
Step 5
Next, add the remaining watermelon juice, a splash of zesty lime juice, a generous pour of white rum, and a touch of simple syrup to sweeten the mix.
Step 6
Fill the pitcher with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda, adjusting the fizz to your liking.
Step 7
Give everything a gentle stir to combine the flavors, and serve immediately in glasses.
Step 8
For an extra touch, garnish with additional mint leaves, inviting your guests to enjoy a delightful sip of summer in every glass.
