Watermelon Mint Popsicles
Refreshing watermelon mint popsicles with the option to add rum for watermelon mojito pops.
Every weekend is now time for grilling, picnics and summer delights!! When I think of summer foods, watermelon is always at the top of the list. You won’t find me without a few slices in the fridge all summer long as I buy a giant one every week we grocery shop. I just cut it up, portion it out for snacks and chill. It’s the easiest snack to grab and cool off with.
Unless if you make them into popsicles!! These watermelon mint popsicles are WAY better than just eating up cold slices of watermelons. They are refreshing, sweet and simple. Just perfect for cooling off after a day of playing in the sun. And since they are popsicles, they are literally the easiest things to make. It’s just blending watermelon, mint and sweetener of your choice!! Add lime juice and some rum and you will have a watermelon mojito popsicle to serve to the adults.
Now tell me this isn’t summer at it’s finest?
Have a great weekend friends!

Thanks Medeja!
These are awesome and I’ll definitely be adding rum to mine. Ha ha ha. I always have a big ‘ol watermelon in the fridge. And I’m so lazy, I don’t even bother cutting it up. I just slice it in half and put it in my lap and dig in with a spoon!
I kinda love the way you roll!! Just saying 🙂
These pops are pure summer! They look soooo good, they are seriously calling my name. I’d love a spiked one and I think my kids would love the plain ones too! They are totally watermelon and popsicle fiends so this would definitely be a hit!
Of course spike them!! Have a few for me?? Lol! Have a great weekend dear!
I always have Watermelon in the fridge this time of year too! These pops are a great way too cool off and beat the heat! I’m going to a BBQ this weekend and these will be perfect to add to the list of things I’m bringing! Cheers and happy Friday♡
Yes, add them to the list!! people will love them! Hope you have a great weekend!
I don’t think it’s possible to get any more refreshing than watermelon and mint! I want to snack on these all summer long! Pinned!
Thanks Taylor!!
Yes, definitely summer at its finest! These look so refreshing!
Thanks dear!! When is your wedding again girl?
Giiirl. I’ve been wanting to make watermelon something for weeks now. You’re making my mouth water! Or should I say mouth water-melon. Heheheheh.
This is for you then!!! Hehhe you crack me up 🙂
Z, these pops are perfection!!!! I love the watermelon and love how refreshing these look!!!! LOVE!
Thanks Alice!!
this is perfect summer treat. i made granita with mint leaves but they had little pieces of mint..do you think that will happen with these (or may be you just have a great blender). i want to try this so bad..
Thanks Dixya!! I do have a great blender (a kitchenaid torrent) and it pretty much purees everything. But if you do find you have mint leaves in yours, I will suggest passing the liquid through a fine sieve before you pour into the popsicle molds.
I love adding mint to everything during the summertime! It’s so refreshing, and of course so is this watermelon 🙂 A great combo!
Thank you!!
Watermelons are so refreshing and your popsicles are making my mouth water. Absolutely love them, just the perfect summertime treat.
Thanks for sharing my popsicles as well. 🙂
Thanks dear!!

Thanks Gayle!
Oh Z, you totally know how to do popsicles right – these are so so pretty and refreshing! It’s not summer without watermelon and these popsicles make the perfect treat to cool down after spending the day outside 🙂 Hope you’re enjoying the weekend so far! xo
Hahha thanks Kelly! I hope you had a great weekend!
You always make the best flavor pairings! These sound amazing, with or without rum!

You know what’s funny? I’ve never been a watermelon fan, but these popsicles look so refreshing I want to reach in and grab one! And the rum would definitely be in mine. 🙂
What? I love watermelons and usually can’t wait for them over the summer!
Um YUM! Watermelon screams summer and mint is so refreshing! Now I need to put the mint plant I just bought to good use…by making these popsicles! 🙂
I just got a mint plant as well!! Thanks Julie!
