Watermelon Mojito

It’s not ~really~ summer until you’ve cut up your first watermelon, but why just eat it when you can make a tasty Watermelon Mojito!

This recipe does require you to break out a blender, but it’s well worth it (unless you can find fresh watermelon puree).

INGREDIENTS

6 oz Big Five Silver Rum
2 limes, juiced
about 16 mint leaves
4 cups of pureed watermelon

METHOD
Combine rum, lime juice, and mint leaves in a shaker. Muddle, add ice, and shake. Pour into pitcher. Puree watermelon in the blender, and pour into pitcher. Stir together, pour over ice. Enjoy!

(If you don’t mind blended mint leaves in your cocktail, you can just combine all ingredients in the blender and go!)

GARNISH

Garnish with mint sprig.
