By á-25138

The classic Cuban mojito cocktail is the inspiration for this ruby-hued watermelon version. Be sure to keep the limeade frozen so the beverage will be slushy.

• 1 cup sparkling water, chilled
• 3/4 cup white rum
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, undiluted
