Ingredients
Mint simple syrup:
- ½ cup water

Watermelon puree:
- 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon about ½ mini watermelon
Mojitos:

- Optional garnishes: watermelon, limes, mint
Instructions
Prepare simple syrup (allow time to chill):
- Combine water, sugar, and mint in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and chill.
Watermelon puree:
- Place watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids. Chill the puree.
Assembly:
- Combine rum, lime juice, 1 ½ - 2 cups watermelon puree, and mint simple syrup in a large pitcher. Pour into ice-filled glasses, garnish if desired.
Notes
I like to set aside additional watermelon, lime slices, and fresh mint for garnishing each cocktail.
