A refreshing and easy 5-ingredient watermelon mojito, perfect for summer. Make it a mocktail or add rum.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 8–10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
  • 1 oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 2 oz white rum (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint sprigs for garnish
  • Watermelon wedge for garnish

Instructions

  1. If using a blender: Combine watermelon, mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup (if using), and rum (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. If muddling: In a sturdy glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice and simple syrup (if using). Add watermelon chunks and muddle lightly to release juice.
  3. Add rum (if using) to the glass.
  4. Fill the glass with ice.
  5. Pour the blended watermelon mixture (from step 1) over the ice, or strain the muddled mixture (from step 3) into the glass filled with ice.
  6. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Garnish with a mint sprig and a watermelon wedge.

Notes

  • For a mocktail, simply omit the rum.
  • Adjust simple syrup to your sweetness preference.
  • For a smoother drink, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • You can prepare the watermelon mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
