Mocktail Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed fresh watermelon
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3–4 limes)
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Soda water (to top off)
- Extra lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon Juice: Place the cubed fresh watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp if a smoother texture is desired.
- Add Lime Juice and Mint: Stir the fresh lime juice into the watermelon juice. Lightly muddle the mint sprigs to release their flavor and add them to the mixture.
- Assemble the Mocktail: Fill serving glasses halfway with the watermelon-lime mixture. Top off each glass with soda water to add fizz and gently stir to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Add extra lime slices to the glasses for garnish and place a fresh mint sprig on top. Serve immediately while chilled for best refreshment.
Notes
- For extra chill, refrigerate the watermelon cubes before blending or serve over ice.
- You can adjust the tartness by adding more or less lime juice depending on preference.
- To make it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup before blending.
- Use sparkling water with a light lemon or lime flavor to enhance citrus notes.
