Watermelon Mojitos - Celebrating Sweets

Whip up a pitcher of fresh and flavorful Watermelon Mojitos. Watermelon, lime, fresh mint, and rum combine in this delicious and refreshing cocktail.

These Watermelon Mojitos are a fabulous summer cocktail. The combination of fresh watermelon puree, mint simple syrup, lime juice, and rum just screams “summer.” They are light and refreshing, and they go down sooooo easily. Too easily.

Plus, look at that color. Beautiful!

This recipe makes a pitcher of mojitos, which is great if you’re serving several people. No need to mix up individual drinks; just combine everything in the pitcher and pour into ice-filled glasses. Your friends will love them.

Make sure you plan a little bit in advance because you’ll need to allow your watermelon puree and simple syrup to cool. Prepare them a couple of hours in advance and have everything ready and waiting in your fridge.

Have fun with the garnishes. I love adding watermelon, lime slices, and fresh mint to each glass. Technically, if you get enough fruit in there you practically have a fruit salad. And since fruit = healthy, I guess this is technically health food. ← Kidding, of course.

I hope you have a beautiful summer weekend. If you need a way to stay cool… you’re lookin’ at it. Drink up, friends!
