Watermelon Mojitos

From Martha Stewart

Ingredients

• 1/2 small seedless watermelon, cut into chunks
• 1 bunch mint, tough stems removed, 6 sprigs reserved for serving
• 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 1/4 cups white rum

Directions

1. Step 1

   In a blender, in batches, puree watermelon. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a liquid-measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible (about 3 cups); discard solids.

2. Step 2

   In a large container, combine mint, sugar, and lime. With the back of a wooden spoon, crush mint and lime until sugar is dissolved. Add watermelon juice and rum, fill container with ice, and stir to combine. Serve over more ice with mint sprigs.
