Since we’ve been leaning into those fresh summer flavors, I had to share the adult version of the dirty soda we just made. This Dirty Watermelon Mojito is the perfect way to use up that Homemade Mint Simple Syrup while treating yourself to a cocktail that feels like a total vacation in a glass. It has that classic tart lime and cool mint profile, but with a creamy twist that makes it feel so unique.
If you have already tried the Virgin Watermelon Mojito Dirty Soda, you know how well the fruit and cream play together. This version just adds a little white rum to the mix to make it the ultimate weekend treat. It is also a great companion to the Minty Lemonade if you are hosting a summer get-together and want to offer a few different refreshing options.

Step by step instructions for dirty watermelon mojito
To start, you will pour two ounces of white rum into your glass. Then, take those fresh watermelon chunks and a splash of water and blend them until they are a smooth puree.
You only need about two ounces of the puree for your drink, so you can save the rest for a second round or just enjoy it as a little snack while you mix.
Next, add your mint simple syrup and some fresh mint sprigs if you are using them. Fill the glass most of the way with ice and top it off with your lemon lime soda.
To finish it off, add your fresh lime juice and a splash of heavy cream, giving it a gentle stir so everything looks marbled and beautiful.
It is bright, creamy, and exactly what I want to be sipping on a warm evening. If you are looking for a delish meal to pair with this, it would be delicious alongside a fresh batch of Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes for a full summer meal.
With its virgin cousin… Cheers!
