Happy Monday! I thought I'd kick off the week with a brand new post about a delish new drink recipe. Saturday night we went to eat for the first time in a loooong time at a dine-in restaurant, Mexican of course. I had a hankering for a mojito, but they were out of the fresh ingredients so I settled for a margarita. I felt inspired by this season's fruit to incorporate into this mixed drink and oh my stars! So good.
A few little side notes, the mint was freshly hand-picked by my dear mama. She has an amazing garden every year and the herbs are my favorite.
I also made these without the simple syrup it calls for, and instead opted to use Sprite Zero, which you cannot even tell the difference in my opinion. This is what gives it the 'skinny' quality. No extra calories!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Have a wonderful week friends!
Skinny Watermelon Mojito
- 8 large chunks of watermelon
- mint leaves (approximately 6-8 small leaves)
- large sphere of ice
- 2 cans of Sprite Zero
- 4 oz. white rum
Directions
Makes enough for 4 drinks. Place 2 mint leaves in the bottom of 4 separate glasses. Muddle each leaf with the end of a wooden spoon. Next puree the watermelon in a food processor. Place your sphere of ice in each cup. Divide watermelon puree evenly between each glass (4). Pour 1-2 oz. of rum per glass. Next fill to the brim with soda. Garnish with the leftover mint leaves. Enjoy!
