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

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!

This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in Richmond, British Colombia. It’s the city where the airport is located & right next to Vancouver. There is a huge Chinese community, so there’re many traditional Chinese food. One of the most memorable for me has to be this char siu & roasted duck w/ rice. Char siu had the perfect balance of meat & fat. I also got the soup of the day. It was very comforting & I finished the whole bowl. The atmosphere, the people & the food reminded me of Hong Kong. I’ll definitely come back next time! 

Tips: Many restaurants & food stalls in Richmond only take cash.
