Hg's Watermelon Frojito - Ww Pts 3

Messie Chef's Note:

Can't wait to try it this summer! From Hungry Girl: "Mojito recipes usually call for a fancy bartending tool called a muddler. Don't have one? Neither do we. Try using one of the beaters from an electric hand mixer."

This is fantastic! It tastes so fresh. I love mojitos, and this really adds a great new twist. I didn't have any artificial sweetener, so I added a tiny bit of regular sugar (maybe 1/4 tsp) and it came out perfect. The watermelon is very sweet itself. Thanks for the recipe!
