It has been a long while since I have featured a signature drink on this wedding blog.

I came across a recipe for a Strawberry Watermelon Mojito on Brides.com that I thought was worth sharing with you and would make for a great signature drink for an outdoor wedding this summer.

The drink was created by the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach, FL and the recipe is as follows:

• 1½ oz. Smirnoff Strawberry Vodka
• ½ oz. fresh lime juice
• ½ oz. mint-infused simple syrup
• 1 cup fresh seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
• 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
• Club soda

Directions:

To make mint syrup, bring 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and add 8 to 10 mint leaves. Let cool for 30 minutes. Strain. Combine vodka, lime juice, simple syrup, ½ cup of watermelon and about 10 mint leaves in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a glass with ice and remaining watermelon. Top with club soda. Garnish with additional mint leaf.

Voilá!
