How To Prepare Watermelon Mojitos?

Step 1) Take a medium-sized watermelon, cut it into pieces and keep it aside on a plate.

Step 2) Cut the green rind of the watermelon and also separate the black seeds of the watermelon pieces.

Step 3) Cut the lime into round shapes very thinly and keep it aside in a bowl.

Step 5) The liquid thin watermelon juice will be extracted and kept aside in a bowl.

Step 6) On a plate take one to two tablespoons of jaljeera powder and spread it in a round shape.

Step 7) Then reverse your cocktail glass and stick the jaljeera powder on the mouth of the gland due to which the taste of the cocktail becomes more tempting and exciting. In case of jaljeera powder does not stick to the mouth of the glen, you will apply a few drops of pulp with your fingers over the glass and the jaljeera powder will stick and stay on the mouth of the cocktail glass.

Step 11) Then pour the watermelon juice from the bowl into the glass. Try to fill 1/3rd of the glass with watermelon juice and not more than that.

Step 12) Then stir the juice so that the sugar gets mixed properly and then add 2 to 3 ice cubes.

Step 13) Then add two to three tablespoons of orange squash for the additional taste of the mojito. This second layer will be orange in colour, which you will fill for the next second portion of the glass.

Step 14) The last upper portion will be the addition of sparkling water or soda water which will fill the upper last portion. In this way, we will make the three-layer watermelon mojito drink.

Expert Tips and Advice

1) Selection of watermelon:- Use ripe watermelon for your mojito which will increase the taste and also its red colour will enhance the look of the mojito.

2) Squeeze the lime instantly:- Use the lime instantly by squeezing it while preparing the mojito. Do not squeeze too much, otherwise, the mojito will become too bitter in the taste.

3) Use proper quality ice:- Use high-quality and larger ice cubes so that it does not get diluted quickly into the drink.

4) Variation of sweetness:- If you don’t want to use sugar directly, you can add sugar powder or honey which is optional and as per your preference.

5) Variation while garnishing:- While garnishing, you can add mint leaves, cucumber pieces, or strawberry pieces depending upon your choice and experimentation.
