Equipment
- Skewers 4-6 inches
Ingredients
Fruit
- Cubed fresh watermelon
- Fresh cherries
- Honeydew melon balls
Mojito Mix
- 1 cup white rum
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: In a large dish, arrange the watermelon cubes, fresh cherries, and honeydew melon balls in a single layer.
- Mix Mojito Rum Mix: In a separate bowl, combine the white rum, lemon-lime soda, granulated sugar, and lime juice. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved. Pour this mixture over the fruit, ensuring it's all covered. Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves on top.
- Chill and Soak: Cover the dish and refrigerate it for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight if you have the time. The longer the fruit soaks, the more flavorful it becomes.
- Assemble the Skewers: When you're ready to serve, thread the fruit onto skewers. A little tip for the cherries: thread them in front of the pit rather than through the center to avoid hitting the pit.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Serve the skewers chilled for the best experience. If left out at room temperature for too long, the fruit can spoil more quickly.
Alcohol Strength: Be aware of the potency of the fruit. Because the alcohol is not cooked off, the fruit will retain its alcoholic content. Consume responsibly, especially if serving at a party where guests might not be aware of the alcohol content.
Amount of skewers made out of this recipe will largely depend on the size of the fruit you purchase.
