Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe, seedless watermelon chunks
  • 10–12 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or soda
  • 1 tsp agave syrup or simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut fresh watermelon into chunks and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine sieve to remove pulp, ensuring a silky texture for the mocktail.
  2. Muddle the Mint and Lime: Place fresh mint leaves and freshly squeezed lime juice into your serving glass. Gently muddle using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release flavorful oils without tearing the leaves completely.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the strained watermelon juice into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir in agave syrup or simple syrup if desired, adjusting sweetness to your preference.
  4. Add Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill the glass with ice cubes and top with sparkling water or soda to your preferred fizz level. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim for visual appeal and enhanced aroma. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor.
  • Don’t over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness; press gently to release oils.
  • Keep watermelon juice and sparkling water chilled before mixing for extra refreshment.
  • Adjust sweetness after tasting to preserve natural flavors.
  • Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for vibrant acidity.
