What could possibly be better than sipping on a cool and refreshing Watermelon Mojito by the pool or at a family barbecue in the lush summer months? This drink is simple to pull off, yet it offers an impressive step up to the classic mojito. I love this recipe for the 4th of July, though I can’t think of an occasion where this drink wouldn’t please.
