Omni Honey Melon Mojito

While reading the article in the May 2015 Tasting Panel magazine, I decided to attempt this watermelon mojito for Mother's Day. It sounded refreshing and I already had the ingredients at home. I immediately clipped fresh mint leaves from my backyard and made the simple syrup and honey water from scratch. You can leave out the rum if you want to make it non-alcoholic. You can find these beauties at Omni Hotels & Resorts. Enjoy!

Lay everything on the counter.

Blend up one cup of watermelon in a blender or Nutribullet. You only need 1 oz. but you can add extra if you want to sweeten it up.
