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 ripe watermelon: Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size and has a deep red color. Avoid watermelons with bruises or cuts.
- Chill the watermelon before using: This will help to make the mojito more refreshing.
- Use fresh mint leaves: Mint is the essential herb in mojitos. Be sure to use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
- Muddle the mint and sugar together: This will help to release the mint's flavor and aroma.
- Use a good quality rum: Rum is the base spirit in mojitos. Be sure to use a good quality rum that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add a splash of lime juice: Lime juice adds a bit of tartness and acidity to the mojito. Be sure to use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Top with club soda: Club soda adds a bit of fizz to the mojito. Be sure to use chilled club soda for the best results.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig: This will add a finishing touch to your mojito.
