When we think of summer, we immediately think fresh fruit, especially watermelon. How many of us have childhood memories eating fresh watermelon and spitting the seeds at friends?
If you’re already in the mood for a light and fun summer cocktail for hanging by the pool or a casual party, this mint watermelon cocktail is perfect. We prefer ours with vodka, but it’s delicious when mixed with gin or rum to make a watermelon mojito. The sweetness of the drink comes from the smashed watermelon puree, and it’s topped with sparkling water from Waterloo, which means that this summer watermelon cocktail is low-calorie and sugar-free!
Note: If you don’t have Waterloo at your local grocery store, you can achieve the sparkling watermelon cocktail by adding soda water or Topo Chico.
We also are huge fans of any cocktail that can quickly modified to suit anyone. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, or are looking to cut back on your carbonation, simply substitute the soda water for lemonade or limeade for a sweet boozy watermelon lemonade.
