- 1 Lime juiced
Liquid
- 1 cup Water cold

Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a slushy and extra-chilled mojito, freeze watermelon cubes ahead of time and use them in place of ice when blending. This keeps the drink cold without watering it down.
- If you prefer a fizzier texture, replace half of the cold water with chilled sparkling water or club soda just before serving.
- To elevate presentation, rim your serving glasses with a mix of salt and chili powder or black salt for a tangy twist.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup, adjusting the quantity to your preferred sweetness.
Expert Tips
- Muddle the mint leaves gently to release their flavor without bruising them, which can make the drink bitter.
- Adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking by adding more or less honey/syrup and lime juice, respectively.
- For a richer flavor, use white rum aged in oak barrels.
Storage Instructions
- Watermelon mojitos are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavor and texture may change slightly over time.
