🥄 Instructions
- Blend the watermelon: Add cubed watermelon to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp (optional for a smoother texture).
- Add mint & lime: In a pitcher, muddle a handful of fresh mint leaves with lime juice to release flavor.
- Mix it up: Pour the strained watermelon juice into the pitcher. Stir in honey or agave if you want it sweeter.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice, pour the watermelon-mint mixture halfway, and top with chilled sparkling water or club soda.
- Garnish & enjoy: Add a slice of lime and a sprig of mint for that fresh, summer-ready presentation.
💡 Tips
- Use seedless watermelon for easier blending.
- Want a frozen version? Freeze watermelon cubes before blending for a slushy-style mocktail.
- Replace sparkling water with lemon-lime soda if you want a sweeter kick.
📦 Storage
- Best enjoyed immediately after preparing for maximum fizz and freshness.
- You can store the watermelon juice base in the fridge for up to 2 days and add sparkling water just before serving.
