Watermelon & Cucumber Mojitos

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Watermelon – use fresh or frozen watermelon or a pureed watermelon mixture.

How to make this drink non-alcoholic

If you're hosting a kid-friendly barbecue or just prefer not to drink any alcohol, you don't have to miss out on this delicious summer drink! Take out the alcohol, add watermelon juice or more sparkling water and you have yourself a delicious virgin mojito. Serve and enjoy all night, without the hangover! The watermelon and cucumber makes this drink super refreshing, therefore making it the perfect drink for any outdoor gathering.

What is difference between mojito and margarita?

Margaritas and mojitos are often listed under the same category on a cocktail menu. They're delicious cocktails and though they are similar, there are key differences between the two drinks. A margarita is a cocktail that can be served frozen or on the rocks. They're assembled using a shot (or two) of tequila with a delicious salt on the rim of the glass. The salt rim is there to complement the flavour of the tequila.

A mojito is a cocktail that is made out of rum (I use vodka in this recipe to save on any extra calories) and an herb that is muddled with fresh citrus juice. A mojito is usually served on the rocks but has been seen served frozen before. They're typically seen as a healthier drink option than margaritas but they're just as good!

    Could you make the puree ahead of time? say 2 days in advance? I wanted to bring these to a cottage but wont have a blender!

      Hey Mackenzie – I imagine it would work! I’ve made it up to a day in advance and it’s been fine. The only thing I would say is that it might cause a bit of discoloration but the taste would remain the same after two days. Let me know if you try it!

    Can’t wait to try it out!!

    I’m also wondering how big of a watermelon to use or if I were to use fresh pressed watermelon juice, how many oz’s or cups?

      Hi Katie – I used a small-sized seedless watermelon..maybe 8-10 inches in diameter around if I had to guess. Hope that helps!

    aren’t mojitos made with rum?

      Hi Sudmitha! Traditionally, yes they are. I personally think the vodka goes way better with the watermelon and cucumber though. Feel free to add in rum if you want to keep it more of a classic mojito though!
