Description
While the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” might apply when referring to this traditional cocktail, I had a piece of watermelon in my fridge that was begging to live another day.
Ingredients
- 3 cups 1/2-inch Cubes Watermelon
- 12 leaves (medium To Large) Fresh Mint Leaves
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 6 ounces, fluid Light Rum
- 4 slices Lime
- 4 sprigs Mint
Preparation
Place watermelon cubes in a blender. Blend until smooth.
In a small pitcher, combine fresh mint leaves, sugar, and fresh lime juice. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle the ingredients to release the oils from the mint. Take care not to muddle to the point where the leaves fall apart. Pour rum and the watermelon puree into the pitcher and stir gently.
Fill four tall glasses (such as Collins glasses) with ice and divide the mojito amongst the glasses. Garnish with lime slices and mint sprigs, and serve immediately.
