Summer Cocktail: Watermelon Mojito

Nothing says Summer more than watermelon in every single grocery store in America, right?

Since we moved from our small condo to our new home with a nice deck, we have been enjoying a lot of outdoor dining and parties at the house instead of having to take a drive to our old “backyard” aka a nice park by the Potomac River.

It’s always fun to create a signature cocktail for parties and dinners. Watermelon, organic mint from our garden, rum and friends are always a refreshing mix for a entertaining Summer Fiesta. So  don’t waste any more summer days, get your friends together in a park or at home and serve this refreshingly delicious Watermelon Mojito recipe and be prepared for it to be a hit. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• Watermelon chunks
• Mint
• Rum (preferably Don Q)

Directions:

1. Cut watermelon in chunks and remove the seeds
2. Blend watermelon chunks
3. Muddle a few mint leaves in watermelon juice
4. Add rum and ice cubes.
