Hi Everyone,
Today for #SundaySupper our mission was to make something that will beat the heat and is served cold! I couldn’t think about anything more refreshing than a mouth quenching drink. Well a drink with a little bit of rum in it! He he One of my favorite all time summer drinks that really cools me off is a mojito. I love them because they are minty, light, refreshing and served with lots of ice. I decided to change-up the traditional mojito and add watermelon to it! Oh yeah! Nothing more quenching in the summer than watermelon. So today I have for you my Skinny Watermelon Mojito.
This drink is simply amazing! It is made with fresh watermelon that I blended in a blender. Freshly squeezed lime juice, peppermint leaves, white rum and club soda. This drink is light, fresh, sweet and simply delicious. One thing I have to admit, the last time I made this drink the watermelon wasn’t super sweet, so I added a pinch of sugar to it. Today’s recipe the watermelon was so sweet that no sweetener was needed. So if your watermelon is not sweet enough, by all means mix in a pinch of sugar, stevia or even honey.
Ohhhhh I am just so excited for the summer! I have to admit though the temperatures have been quite warm here in California. This past week is was in the low 100’s and even the most quench thirsting drinks will not cool you off. So if it’s hot where you are, go to the mall in the air conditioning! 🙂 Nothing beats the heat like retail therapy! lol But really, if it’s hot stay indoors and make sure your pets are indoors too!!
- 1 cup watermelon, seeded roughly chopped
- ½ lime, juiced
- 4 mint leaves
- ice
- 1 fl. oz. Bacardi Rum (use white rum)
- club soda
- In a blender, process watermelon until liquefied. Pour into a glass.
- In a small bowl, muddle together the lime juice and mint leaves. Pour over the top of the watermelon. Fill the glass with ice and top with rum and club soda.
- Garnish with mint leaves and watermelon wedge if desired.
- Note: If the water melon is not to sweet, add ½ tsp. of fine sugar.
I love chilled summer recipes! I can’t wait to see what kind of recipes the gang made this week! So make sure you check them out too!
Have a refreshing, cool Sunday!!

Me too! I just can’t get enough of the fruit!
I absolutely fell in love with mojitos at first sip! This watermelon one is a must try for sure!! Thanks!
Thank you Marion! I too fell in love with mojitos! So refreshing and oh so good! 🙂
What a pretty looking mojito. I bet this can take your mind off the heat for a while that’s for sure.
I know it’s been crazy hot here, hasn’t it?
That looks soooooo refreshing!! Love it!!
Thank you Tara!

I just had a mojito a few days back! I wish it was watermelon now though, this looks fantastic.
Thank you so much Shannon!
Mojitos are basically the most refreshing thing ever! Love!
I kind of have to agree with you! Perfect for a hot summers day!
Yea, watermelon!! I made a watermelon mojito last week (though I don’t think mine was skinny) and it was so, so delicious and refreshing. I love your glassware, such gorgeous pictures!
You have to love the watermelon mojito! I bet yours was amazing!
Great drink. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome! 🙂
Mojitos are my favorite summer drink. By far. I love, love, love this version with watermelon. Pinning and stumbling to make sure I make this!!
Ahhhh, thank you so much Susan!
LOOKS YUMMY! I’ll have a virgin one right away, please! Thanks so much for bringing this to the Sunday Supper party! HUGS
Ok, I’ll bring it to the party, a nice virgin one! 🙂
I’ll take a whole pitcher please!
Ok, I’ll send one your way!

Looks delicious! I love trying new margarita flavors.
I need this in my life ASAP!!
Hi! How grand is this?? my kids are loving the watermelon this year and I’m looking for new ways to enjoy it, so I’m so glad you posted this for SS!! Have you tried it without alcohol in it? Thanks for sharing!
Nope I haven’t tried it without alcohol, but I bet it would taste just fine, just add a little more watermelon juice!
I’m excited to try this recipe! Can it be made hours in advance, or is it best served immediately?
Hi Danielle, I would say you can make ahead, except fort eh Club Soda. Don’t add that until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
best recipe, i love
Thank you Receita!
This looks amazing!! Can a big batch be made to take to the beach?
Hehe lol yeah, Malls are the best place to beat the heat if your office and home don’t have ac and if you can’t make cocktails too. As in this article, you inspired us to make some delightful drink by muddling a piece of watermelon into a mouth quenching beverage. Yeah, that will beat the heat too, besides malls. Anyways thanks for this beautiful recipe, Jennifer!
