A quick and easy summer drink combining juicy watermelon, fresh mint, lime juice, white rum, and sparkling water for a refreshing mojito pitcher perfect for entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups diced fresh watermelon (seedless preferred)
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white rum (e.g., Bacardi)
  • 2 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water dissolved)
  • Ice cubes (plenty for serving and chilling)
  • Optional: lime slices and extra mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place diced watermelon and mint leaves in a large pitcher. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, gently press down to release juices and oils without pulverizing, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add freshly squeezed lime juice and simple syrup to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in 1 cup white rum and stir to mix. For a lighter cocktail, start with 3/4 cup rum and adjust to taste, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher, then pour in 2 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to blend without flattening the fizz, about 1 minute.
  5. Garnish with lime slices and fresh mint sprigs. Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not over-muddle the mint leaves to avoid bitterness. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. For non-alcoholic version, omit rum and add extra sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Store leftovers without sparkling water in airtight container refrigerated up to 24 hours.
