It’s finally hot outside and today’s the last day of classes at my school which means summer vacation has almost begun and I am so ready! When it’s a hot summer day, all I want is to sit by the pool with a drink in hand. Since, as a teenager, I can’t have real cocktails, I like to make some mixed drinks for myself. My Non-Alcoholic Watermelon Mojitos recipe is my all-time favorite to make and drink. It is super refreshing and sweet from the watermelon juice and simple syrup. The lime juice and mint add more layers of flavor that give this drink it’s amazing flavor! Learn how to make this delicious drink by watching the video below!
