Description

Fresh watermelon gives a summer-inspired twist to this easy frozen mojito that's perfect for poolside sipping.

Ingredients

1 small seedless watermelon
1 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
3 leaves fresh mint
1/3 cup white rum

Directions

1 Remove rind from watermelon; dice into large cubes. Add watermelon, water, sugar, and mint leaves to an electric blender. Blend until pureed.
2 Pour in rum and give it a couple of stirs to incorporate. Pour mixture into a 9x12-inch pan and place in the freezer for 4 hours. Scrape the mixture with a fork every 1 to 2 hours. It will not freeze completely due to the rum.
3 Serve in a shallow bowl or a nice glass.
