Mojitos have always been my favorite summer cocktail. You can control how much simple syrup you add and there aren’t a lot of sugars to worry about. For me sugary cocktails = a major headache.

So I am forced to conclude that I must have had just too many or something else on those days. Phew! I can officially drink mojitos. I am also utterly obsessed with watermelon. Always have been. Even back in my watermelon seed spitting contest days (is that indeed an activity or am I making this memory up?). Watermelon + mojitos are my favorite combo yet. I looked up a few recipes but ultimately decided to wing it and it was soso good. It’s probably not in my best interest how good these are. Hello, pool and mojito party.
