    Muddled mojito
  • Add rum and fill glass two-thirds of the glass with ice. Top off with soda water and stir well using a bartender's spoon.
  • Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Notes

*You can make this in advance so that you don't have to make it on the spot. Alternatively, you could also buy it at the store.
**I left the watermelon chunks inside but if you prefer, you can muddle the watermelon separately and filter out any pulp.
