Watermelon Mojitos
Here in Miami, there’s only one thing that can beat the heat: MOJITOS. Refreshing with lime and mint, these cocktails are the perfect drink for parties, get-togethers, and poolside. Watermelon adds a different dimension bringing sweetness and a beautiful color.
When I grew up, there was always a pitcher full of watermelon juice in my fridge. We drank a lot of natural fruit juices and these Watermelon Mojitos are the adult version of my favorite childhood drink. The mint just brings it over the top. It gives out the natural flavor in an unexpected way.
This summer I am enjoying every second and not taking anything for granted. My youngest daughter is starting Kindergarten in a new school and I’ll have to juggle 2 different school and 2 different schedules.
With the work on the blog and the girls, September is going to be hectic and exciting. I am nervous for her because she doesn’t know anybody at this new school.
So before summer ends I try to sneak in a date night with my hubby and enjoy delicious Watermelon Mojitos. If you’re not an alcohol drinker, ditch the rum and make it a Mocktail! It’s so easy and they look very pretty.
See how cute the watermelon balls look? My daughters kept stealing them and I ended up using the whole watermelon. They also look pretty on fruit salads. The intense red color is very eye-catching.
I hope you can try these delicious Watermelon Mojitos e at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
