How to muddle a drink

To muddle is to smash and mix when referring to a cocktail. People usually muddle fruit, spices, or mints in a glass, although the ice may also be crushed. Simply add the items to be smashed into a study container (shaker or heavy-duty glass container) and bring your muddler down onto the ingredients to be mashed, and then twist your wrist, and bring up your muddler. Repeat until you are satisfied with the results. Muddling releases the scent and flavors of the items you are mashing.

Tips and variations for making this Watermelon Mojito:

● A great tall glass to use for this recipe is collins glasses.
● If you like, make some watermelon puree and quick freeze it to use in place of ice cubes.
● Make certain you use seedless watermelon. Make sure you choose a ripe watermelon.
● Simple syrup or added white sugar is not needed for this recipe as the watermelon provides a touch of sweetness naturally.
● You can substitute sparkling water for the club soda for a lighter taste with less added sugar and calories, or purchase a diet club soda.
● You can use more mint leaves if you like extra mint in your cocktails.
● While this recipe uses white rum, you can substitute light rum, dark rum, or even spiced rum if that is your personal taste preference.
● If you like, muddle the mint and add it to the bottom of the glasses. Then proceed with the recipe minus the mint in the shaker.
● If you want to make this into a punch; muddle the fresh mint leaves separately, and add it to the punch bowl OR each glass before pouring. Proceed with the recipe multiplying by how many servings you would like to make. Add to the punchbowl without extra ice. Save that for when serving so as not to dilute the punch while it is sitting.
● You can easily make this watermelon mojito recipe a watermelon mojito mocktail (watermelon mojito without alcohol, virgin mojito, etc) by eliminating the white rum. Nothing has to be substituted in its place as you will top with a bit of extra club soda.
