Honeydew Mojitos Recipe
- 1 1/2 cups frozen honeydew melon chunks
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (see below) or sugar
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup chilled light rum or Safeway Ginger Ale
- 4 fresh mint sprigs, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup chilled Safeway Club Soda, or as needed
- Freshly grated or O Organics ground nutmeg
- In a food processor, whirl melon, 2 tablespoons simple syrup, 1/4 cup lime juice, and chopped mint until mixture blends to a smooth slush. Taste for sweetness; add more syrup, if desired. (To make ahead and store up to 2 weeks, scoop slush into a resealable freezer bag and seal. When ready to use, let stand a few minutes at room temperature to soften.)
- Mix remaining 1/4 cup lime juice, rum or ginger ale, and 2 tablespoons simple syrup. Scoop melon slush equally into tall glasses (about 1 cup size); add mint sprig to each. Add equal amounts of rum mixture. Fill with club soda. Dust drinks with nutmeg.
- Serve with straws to swizzle and sip.
