The perfect mojito should be refreshing and well balanced, not overly sweet or sour. This recipe has the perfect amount of both:

Ingredients:

• 1 large grapefruit, no skin no pith, just the pulp
• 2 cups ripe watermelon, cut in small cubes
• 1 lime
• 1/2 cup of superfine sugar
• 1 bunch mint
• Light rum
• Club soda (to serve)
• Crushed ice
• Grapefruit twist and mint

Method:

For each cocktail, do the following:

1. Pick your favorite tall glass muddle a couple slices of lime, a couple sprigs of mint, about 2 tablespoons of grapefruit pulp, 2 tablespoons of watermelon, and 1 teaspoon of sugar (adjust if needed). Muddle until sugar has dissolved completely.
2. Pour 1 ½ oz. of light rum in the muddled mix and stir
3. Add a handful of crushed ice and top with club soda. Garnish with grapefruit twist and sprigs of mint leaf. Serves 4

Don’t be afraid to play with the quantities a little until you get a flavor that perks up your taste buds. Pair this one with our Orange Mango Chicken for a protein packed pick-me-up.
