COCKTAIL RECIPE
Watermelon Mojito
Contributed by Chad LeuthjePosted Thursday September 02, 2010
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 Large mint leaves
- Juice of half a small lime
- 1 Tbsp Agave nectar
- 4 oz Seedless watermelon
- 1.5 oz Bacardi Rum
Glass: Rocks


In my very own opinion, bacardi white and bacardi black, are some damn aweful rums! Plus, it’s too expenssive.
I prefer (for the “lets get drunk”-evenings) Havana Club rums.
Here in Denmark, the Bacardi bottles are about $21 and the Havana Clubs are about $17.
But taste is always personal, going to try the watermelon mojito soon!
There was a cocktail at the KC Bartending Competition last weekend like this… The finalist was from a wine bar in Manhattan, KS; here’s the recipe from the Competition’s website.
4 Large melon balls Watermelon (totalling 2 oz)
3 Mint Leaves
2 oz Milagro Blanco Tequila
.25 Madhava Amber Agave Nectar
splash lime juice (less than .25)
pinch of fleur del sel
splash St. George Absinthe (less than .25)
Served in a Martini Glass
Garnished with Cucumber skin laced watermelon ball on a bamboo cocktail pick.
Seriously yummy stuff.
Bacardi is flavorless . . . try Oronoco . .. made from sugar cane of Brazil . . . has a nice light citrusy vanilla note to it that goes so well with lime and mint . . . Highly recommend
