Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed fresh watermelon
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3–4 limes)
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Soda water (to taste)
- Extra lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, discarding the rind and any white parts to ensure a pure, sweet flavor.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the watermelon cubes and fresh lime juice into a blender. Blend until smooth, using a tamper if needed. If the blender is small, blend in batches to process all the watermelon evenly.
- Strain Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the pulp, transferring the clear juice into a jug for serving.
- Assemble Mocktail: Fill glasses or a large pitcher with crushed ice. Pour the watermelon lime juice until halfway full, then top off with soda water to fill the remaining space.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing taste.
Notes
- If you don’t have crushed ice, place ice cubes in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin for a similar effect.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice according to your taste preference; add more for a tangier flavor or less for a sweeter drink.
