This Watermelon Mojito Smoothie is a hydrating, refreshing blend of juicy watermelon, lime, and mint, inspired by the classic Cuban cocktail. A perfect summer smoothie recipe that’s dairy-free, low-calorie, and bursting with bright, natural flavor — no rum required (but you could add it for a cheeky twist)!
Add the coconut water (or plain water) to the blender first.
Add cubed watermelon, lime juice, mint leaves, sweetener (if using), and ice.
Blend on high for about 30–45 seconds until icy-smooth.
Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with mint and lime. Serve immediately!

Freeze the watermelon beforehand for a more “slushy” texture.
Mint magic: Gently clap the mint leaves between your palms before adding to release oils and enhance flavor.
Want it fizzy? Blend everything except the sparkling water, then stir it in gently after blending for a mocktail-style fizz.
Boozy option: Add a splash of white rum for an adult version. Instant cocktail vibes.
Make it a popsicle: Pour leftovers into molds and freeze for summer ice pops!
