Mojitos are a combination of fruit, rum, mint and sugar muddled together with a little ice and sparkling water. What makes mojitos fun to drink is they are light and refreshing, which really hits the spot during these warm summer months. Â Watermelon is a light fruit, which blends nicely with rum and mint, so Watermelon Mojitos are the perfect seasonal cocktail.
I prepare the Watermelon Mojitos in a pitcher, which makes them easy to serve for a party.  These cocktails can be prepared ahead, just don’t add the sparkling water until party time!
Ingredients
2 cups cubed watermelon
12 mint leaves
2 teaspoons honey
8 ounces white rum
1/2 lemon
2 cups crushed ice + more for glasses
1 1/2 cups sparkling water
(Serves 4)
To Prepare:
1. Â In a medium pitcher, add the cubed watermelon and mint leaves.
2. Â Drizzle the honey on top of the watermelon and mint leaves.
3. Â Using a dowel or wooden spoon, muddle the watermelon mixture together, crushing the mint into the watermelon.
4. Â Next, add the rum and lemon juice and muddle the mixture again.
5. Â Then, add the ice and sparkling water and stir to combine.
6. Â Fill the glasses 1/3 with ice and pour the Watermelon Mojitos on top. Â Cheers!
