Watermelon Mojito

May 25, 2017 By Lokness 5 Comments

This Watermelon Mojito requires only 6 ingredients! Fresh watermelon, mint, lime juice, rum, sugar and ice cubes. It’s summer in a bowl (WATERMELON BOWL)! 

Summer is fast approaching. It was 90˚F last weekend. We almost needed to turn on the air conditioning. For weather like that, Bryan and I were craving for watermelon. Be more specific, a cold, sweet and refreshing watermelon. We went to Whole Foods and picked up one of those personal sized watermelons. They really are the perfect size and taste just as good as the big one.

We ended up using half of the watermelon to make this insanely tasty cocktail. Just 6 ingredients! Watermelon, mint, lime juice, sugar, light rum, and ice cubes. Put everything in a blender and combine. To make the drink more fun, I serve it inside of the watermelon. I also added some watermelon balls. It is really nice to get the sweet fresh fruit in a drink. It is super easy, delicious, and fun! I am thinking that I may have to make another one this weekend! 😉

  • 9 fresh mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice (about 1½ limes)
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ - 2 ounces light rum

Instructions

  • For the watermelon, use a melon baller or small cookie scoop to make 10 (about ¾-inch) melon balls. Set aside in a medium bowl. Using a big spoon to scoop up all the flesh. Measure out 9 ounces of flesh and transfer to a blender or food processor. Make sure all seeds are removed. (Enjoy the leftover flesh yourself!)
  • Add mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar into the blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust with sugar and lime juice if needed. Add desired amount of rum, 1½ – 2 ounces. Blend until just combined.
  • Add ice cubes and the watermelon balls into the hollow watermelon bowl, pour in the mojito. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. If you don’t have a melon baller or cookie scoop, you can remove the flesh and cut into cubes.
  2. To make it easier, you can also skip the watermelon bowl. Just use glass cups!

Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. W Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. We made it to @diamondjubileeteasalon. It was beyond what we imagined. Live piano performance, great service, lots of tea choices & incredibly beautiful sweets, scones & sandwiches. Our favorites were rose eclair, fruit scone, smoked trout sandwich, & ham sandwich. That doesn’t look like a lot of food, but it was! We were crazy stuffed, & I couldn’t even finish my fruit scone. If you’re still hungry, don’t worry, because you can get refills for scones & sandwiches. It was pricey, but worth to do it at least once!

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆
