This past weekend was my birthday weekend and I kicked it off by making Watermelon Mojitos! 

A few weeks after we moved into our new house, a ton of mint started popping up in the corner of our backyard. That means mojitos all summer! Or my Watermelon Mint Margaritas!

This mojito recipe is so easy! I love a drink recipe that doesn’t call for squeezing juice from anything or blending anything and this requires none of that. Just smash everything together in the glass and top it with rum! 

It’s also delicious! I’ve had the best luck with watermelons this year – they’ve all been so sweet and just perfect for drink recipes.

Ingredients

  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Watermelon cubes
  • Lime wedges
  • Simple Syrup (Sometimes I’ll use Liquid Splenda when I’m trying to save calories)
  • White rum (not the spiced kind or the coconut kind – just regular white rum)
  • Sparkling water

How To Make Watermelon Mojitos

  • Use a muddler to smash mint leaves, watermelon cubes, lime wedges, and simple syrup together in 2 glasses
  • Add ice to both glasses
  • Add white rum to both glasses
  • Top each glass with sparkling water
  • Garnish with fresh mint and watermelon wedges if desired

Can You Make Mojitos Ahead?

No, I don’t recommend making these ahead. They really are best when every thing is freshly muddled and the sparkling water is still super bubbly. 

If you’re going to be short on time, you can prep for the drinks by slicing the watermelon and limes and pulling the mint off the stems.
