Soda Base

Watermelon Purée

Method

Prepare Watermelon Purée

  1. 1

    Blend Watermelon

    Cut the seedless watermelon into cubes and place them into a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp if desired.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice

    Once you have the smooth watermelon juice, add the lemon juice and blend for an additional 10 seconds to combine well.

Make Soda Base

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the sparkling water, simple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix without losing carbonation.

Assemble the Soda

  1. 4

    Combine Watermelon and Soda

    In a glass, add 1 cup of the watermelon purée followed by 1 cup of the soda base. Stir gently to mix.

  2. 5

    Add Garnish

    Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of watermelon on the rim of the glass.
