Ingredients
- 1/2
watermelon, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup
granulated sugar
- 12
fresh mint leaves
- 3
limes, cut into wedges
- 1 1/2 cups
white rum
Lime zest, for garnish
Chopped mint, for garnish
Directions
- Step 1Add sugar, mint, and lime wedges to bottom of a large dish. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, break up mint and lime to release mint oils and lime juice. Pour rum over and stir to combine.
- Step 2Add watermelon to rum mixture and let soak 1 hour.
- Step 3 Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove watermelon from rum mixture and brush off any mint leaves. With a paring knife, make one small cut into rind of each watermelon wedge and gently push popsicle sticks into place. Arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.
- Step 4 Serve watermelon popsicles garnished with lime zest and chopped mint.
