Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Watermelon

Cut the fresh watermelon into cubes. Measure out 2 cups and place the cubes into a blender.

2

Blend the Watermelon

Blend the watermelon on high speed until smooth. If desired, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp, but this is optional.

3

Muddle the Mint

In a large glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the leaves to release their oils, being careful not to tear them too much.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the blended watermelon juice, lime juice, and honey (or agave syrup) to the muddled mint in the glass. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

5

Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.

6

Top with Sparkling Water

Pour the sparkling water over the mixture in the glass, making sure to leave some space at the top to prevent spilling.

Garnishing

7

Garnish the Drink

Garnish the drink with fresh mint sprigs and lime wedges for an extra touch of freshness and flavor.
