Watermelon & Strawberry Mojito

Watermelon is surprisingly versatile, whether it be cut up and eaten as is, used in a feta and mint salad or in a cooling cocktail [my favourite!] this tartly sweet melon is always a hit!

 Watermelon & Strawberry Mojito

 Ingredients:

¼ cup lime juice

15 fresh mint leaves

2 cups of strawberries (can be fresh or frozen)

2 cups of cubed watermelon chunks

1 1/2 oz white rum

Soda water

 Method:

1. Blend watermelon chunks, and strawberries in a blender until smooth. 2.
2. In a pitcher add lime juice and mint leaves and let steep for at least 15 minutes.

 [Pro tip: put the mint leaves in your hands and clap your hands together to slightly break up the leaves to release the fresh aroma before adding them to the lime juice]
3. Add rum, soda water and watermelon & strawberry blend to the pitcher, stirring until well combined. Serve chilled using a mint leaf and fresh strawberry for garnish.
