Watermelon Mojito

Mark Burnias
“Summer drinks suit our hot climate. You want something refreshing, and that’s why I went with a mojito when I created this drink. This drink has a sweet side, almost like a sweet tea, yet it has a different taste. The watermelon was a personal touch; it’s one of my favorite fruits. I thought watermelon and mint would go well together. I tried it, and it was really good. I hope you enjoy it.”
