I remember the first time I tried a really good mojito. It was at a beachside cafe during a family vacation, and the combination of lime, mint, and something bubbly was just perfect. Of course, being the youngin', I couldn't have the rum, but I was determined to make something just as good, minus the alcohol. That’s how this Watermelon Mint Virgin Mojito came to be!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. You'll need about 1 cup of cubed watermelon per serving. The riper the watermelon, the sweeter your mojito will be!
- Muddle the Mint and Watermelon: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and watermelon cubes. Gently muddle them together using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon. Be careful not to over-muddle the mint; you want to release the flavors, not pulverize the leaves. You should be able to smell the mint.
- Add Lime Juice and Sweetener: Squeeze in the fresh lime juice. Start with about 2 tablespoons per serving, and adjust to your taste. Add the simple syrup or agave nectar, starting with 1 tablespoon. Remember, you can always add more sweetener later, but you can't take it away!
- Combine all Ingredeints: If you're using a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice. Pour the muddled watermelon-mint mixture, lime juice, and simple syrup over the ice. Shake well for about 15-20 seconds, until the shaker feels cold. If you're using a glass, add ice cubes to the glass.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mojito mixture into a glass filled with ice. This will remove the muddled watermelon and mint, giving you a smoother drink. If you prefer a chunkier mojito, you can skip the straining step and pour everything directly into the glass. Use your best glass!
- Top with Club Soda: Fill the glass with club soda or sparkling water. This adds a lovely fizz and dilutes the sweetness a bit. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a slice of watermelon, and a lime wedge. For an extra touch, you can rim the glass with sugar or salt before adding the drink. Sip, relax, and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Mint Virgin Mojito!
- Optional: For an extra chill, freeze some watermelon cubes beforehand and use them instead of regular ice cubes. This will keep your mojito colder for longer and add even more watermelon flavor. You can also blend the watermelon before muddling for a smoother texture.
