For the Watermelon
  • 1 whole Watermelon Choose ripe, sweet watermelon for optimal flavor.
For the Mojito Mixture
  • 1 handful Fresh Mint Substitute with spearmint or omit for a mint-free version.

Preparation
  1. Begin by selecting a ripe watermelon and cut it in half. Scoop out the flesh, remove seeds, and slice into uniform cubes or wedges.
  2. In a separate bowl, muddle fresh mint leaves with lime juice for about 30 seconds. If desired, add sugar to enhance sweetness.
  3. Pour the mojito mixture over the watermelon and gently toss to coat without mushing.
  4. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Before serving, drizzle rum over the chilled Mojito Watermelon, if using. Serve in bowls or glasses.
