Girls weekend

My sister was in town this weekend! Hence my lack of posting since Thursday.... and my short post tonight. I'm exhausted, but it was so great to have family around.

The one Martha-related thing we did get around to was, of course a fabulous drink. And it was especially fabulous! While most watermelon drinks are sickeningly sweet, this one is DELISH.

Watermelon + mojito = YUM.



Ingredients

4 large mint leaves
1/2 lime
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
4 ounces seedless watermelon, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3/4 cup), plus a small wedge for garnish
2 ounces white rum
1/2 cup ice cubes

Directions
In a heavy large glass, combine mint, lime, and sugar. Using a muddler, mash together mint and lime until sugar is dissolved. Add watermelon, and muddle until broken down. Stir in rum and ice cubes. Pour into an 8-ounce serving glass and garnish with a watermelon wedge. Serve immediately.
