    It takes less than 5 minutes to shake up a few of these Easy Melon Mojitos and they are the perfect way to #DrinkTheSummer Recipe on @beardandbonnet

    It's that time of year again kids, time to #DrinkTheSummer with our blogging buddies while we reminisce about all of the long, lazy summer days of 2016 that are behind us. How about we make a toast to summer's end with this easy Watermelon Mojito?!

    Watermelon + mint + coconut rum - I mean seriously, can you think of a note to end summer on?! 

    Easy 4-ingredient Melon Mojitos to celebrate the end of summer! #DrinkTheSummer

    I am still consuming watermelon at a feverish pace over here! I swear, it seems like every time I find enough interesting ways to eat the one I have sitting in the kitchen my CSA drops off another one. Honestly, I was just about ready to throw in the towel on melon all together this year since I have literally eaten my weight in it. Then a couple of weeks ago I started sipping on cocktails like this watermelon mojito made with melon puree and you guys, I'm officially back on the melon train! Go ahead CSA, bring me another melon - I dare you!

     

    There are so many good cocktails like this watermelon mojito! Just like last year the lovely Sherrie of With Food + Love has gathered an amazing line up of bloggers today to #DrinkTheSummer and I suggest you hop on over to all of their sites to see the beautiful sips they have created! I'm so inspired - I just wish there was more of summer left so I could try them all!

    • Author: This Mess is Ours
    • Yield: 2 small or 1 large cocktail 1x

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 ounces watermelon puree, see note
    • 2 sprigs mint
    • juice of ½ a lime
    • 1 tablespoon agave
    • 2 ounces coconut rum

    To serve

    • ice or frozen cubes of watermelon
    • mint sprigs, optional
    • lime wheels, optional

    Instructions

    1. Combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with a scoop of ice. Shake vigorously enough for 20-25 seconds that the ice in the shaker breaks down the mint leaves into little flecks. Strain over ice into 2 small rocks glasses and garnish with frozen cubes of melon, mint sprigs and lime wheels. Serve immediately

    Notes

    To make watermelon puree: place the pink flesh of a seedless watermelon in a blender and blend on high power until completely the melon is broken down and smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth if the puree feels gritty.
