Ingredients:
- Tall Squashed’s Cold-Pressed Watermelon Juice
- 2 ounces of white rum (optional for a boozy kick)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon of simple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Soda water
- Slices of lime and sprigs of mint for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
Gather all your ingredients and ensure they’re chilled for maximum refreshment. Freshness is key to capturing the vibrant flavors of this summer delight.
2. Muddle Mint Leaves:
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves to release their aromatic oils. This step is essential for infusing your mojito with the refreshing essence of mint.
3. Mix It Up:
Add the Squashed’s Cold-Pressed Watermelon Juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (or agave nectar) to the glass or shaker. If you’re opting for a boozy twist, now’s the time to pour in the white rum.
4. Shake or Stir:
If using a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice and give the ingredients a vigorous shake to chill and combine them. If you’re using a glass, simply stir the ingredients together until well mixed.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Fill a highball glass with ice cubes and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass. Top it off with a splash of soda water for that effervescent finish.
6. Garnish:
No mojito is complete without a decorative flourish. Garnish your Watermelon Mojito with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
