Keto Watermelon Mojitos are the perfect summer drink! They couldn’t be easier to whip up and they’re as refreshing as they are pretty with their beautiful pink hue. With the flavors of fresh mint, watermelon, and lime, they’re a unique spin on a classic mojito cocktail, and they’re fun for serving at just about any summer gathering, whether it’s a potluck, block party, pool party, or BBQ. Fresh watermelon juice is the secret ingredient that really makes these special (just remember to set aside a piece of fresh watermelon the next time you slice into one to make these), but this recipe is a great example of all flavors blending together seamlessly. For a kiddo-friendly mocktail version, just omit the rum and kids will feel like they’re getting to enjoy a fancy beverage.
