Watermelon Mojito #SundayFunday

This refreshing, delicious drink is the perfect summertime cocktail.  

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Melon recipes with you today......

Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting this week and asked us all to share a recipe containing melon of any type.  I decided on a Watermelon Cocktail.  Let's see what the others are sharing.......

• A Day in the Life on the Farm: Watermelon Mojitos
• Amy’s Cooking Adventures: Watermelon Crunch Salad with Watermelon Poppyseed Vinaigrette and Watermelon Caramel Walnuts
• Mayuri’s Jikoni: Watermelon Soda Float
• Sneha’s Recipe: Subak-hwachae/Watermelon Punch - Korean

When I saw this recipe from Food Network it sounded delicious so I printed it out and put it in my to make file.  When Sue announced the theme for this week's Sunday Funday Blogging group I remembered it and pulled it out.

I still have a garden full of mint so Mojitos are a popular drink here on the Farm.  I was anxious to try this watermelon version.  

This cocktail is perfect.  It is light and refreshing.  More tart than sweet and very flavorful.  It is going to be a regular offering here when we are entertaining poolside.
