A refreshing sweet twist on the original mojito, but frozen. Top with a mint leaf and more rum if you choose to.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 small seedless watermelon

  • 1 cup water

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 3 leaves fresh mint

  • ⅓ cup white rum

Directions

  1. Remove rind from watermelon; dice into large cubes. Add watermelon, water, sugar, and mint leaves to an electric blender. Blend until pureed.

  2. Pour in rum and give it a couple of stirs to incorporate. Pour mixture into a 9x12-inch pan and place in the freezer for 4 hours. Scrape the mixture with a fork every 1 to 2 hours. It will not freeze completely due to the rum.

  3. Serve in a shallow bowl or a nice glass.

Cook's Notes:

If you use a watermelon with seeds, you can strain to get the seeds out after blending.

Simple syrup can be substituted for the sugar.
