Frozen Watermelon Virgin Mojitos

Ingredients:
  • 8 1/2 cups fresh watermelon, seedless, cubed
  • 16 oz. diet soda, lemon-lime, divided
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice, divided
  • 2 tbsp. rum extract, divided
  • 3 tbsp. mint leaves, fresh, minced, divided
Makes 8 (1-cup) Servings
  1. In a blender, puree watermelon (you will end up with about 6 cups of puree).
  2. Pour 2 cups of puree into each of 2 standard-size ice cube trays (16 cubes each); freeze until solid (several hours or overnight). Reserve remaining 2 cups watermelon puree in refrigerator.
  3. When ready to make mojitos, place one tray of watermelon puree cubes, 1 cup refrigerated watermelon puree, 1 cup soda, 6 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon extract in blender; blend until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh mint and pour into 4 glasses; garnish with additional fresh mint, if desired. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 more mojitos.
 WW POINTS VALUE: 2 pts.

Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. These cocktails are a light and refreshing taste of summer. These cocktails are great with or without the rum and a great way to use watermelon. The combination of watermelon, lime juice and mint will awaken and cleanse your taste buds. Serve these at lunch, dinner or at a party and people will be asking for more.
