Watermelon Mojito

Here is what you will need:

  • 50ml Dry Gin
  • Half a lime cut into wedges
  • 8-10 leaves of mint
  • 30ml Monin Watermelon Syrup (or 50ml fresh blended watermelon)
  • 20ml Sugar Syrup
  • Soda
  • Mint stalk and a lime wheel for garnish
  • Highball glass (tall glass)
  • Generous amount of crushed ice
  • Muddler (or rolling pin)
  1. In a highball glass, drop in your lime wedges and sugar syrup and then muddle to release the lime juice – use your muddler if you have one or the end of a rolling pin – or if all else fails, squeeze the limes into the glass.
  2. Put 8-10 mint leaves on one hand and clap. This bruises the leaves and releases the aroma. Add to glass.
  3. Half fill the glass with crushed ice
  4. Pour in gin and watermelon syrup (or watermelon juice), stir contents
  5. Fill rest of the glass with crushed ice and top with soda
  6. Using a long spoon or stirrer, stir contents well
  7. Garnish with stem of mint and lime wheel
  8. Drink and enjoy!

Notes on optional items:

While watermelon is in season, blend some up to use as your watermelon portion of this cocktail.
