Steps:
- In a blender or food processor, puree enough watermelon to get 1 cup of juice. (The water content is so high in watermelon it's very easy to get that much juice) I used half of a small watermelon. Strain the watermelon puree so you get out all the seeds. Pour the watermelon juice in a saucepan (no heat yet). Sprinkle on two packets of Knox gelatin. Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk it until it's combined. Turn on the stove-top to medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until combined. When simmering add one cup cold water. Pour your watermelon mixture into a 9×13 pan that has been lightly (very lightly) greased. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or so). Chop some fresh mint leaves. Pour 1 cup water into a saucepan (no heat yet) Sprinkle on two packets of Knox gelatin. Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk it until it's combined. Turn on the stove-top to medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until combined. When simmering add one cup cold white rum. Add your chopped mint into your rum mixture then pour into your 9×13 pan. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or so). With a cookie cutter of choice (I started with a square as you can see, but then decided on the triangle) slowly cut out your jello shots. Press down slowly and make sure you don't have any mint leaves caught on the cutter when you move on to the next.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe, juicy watermelon for the best flavor.
- Cut the watermelon into small cubes for easy muddling.
- Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to balance out the sweetness of the watermelon and mint.
- Use a good quality rum for the best flavor. A light rum or a white rum is a good choice.
- Don't over-muddle the mint leaves. Just a few twists is enough to release their flavor.
- Serve the mojitos immediately, while they are still fresh and bubbly.
