Watermelon Mint Refresher

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups seedless watermelon cubed
  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 2 cups chilled sparkling water
  • Ice
  • Watermelon wedges and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the watermelon cubes, mint leaves, lime juice, and honey in a blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher for a smoother texture, pressing on the pulp, or leave it textured and skip this step.
  • Cover and refrigerate the watermelon base for at least 1 hour, until well chilled.
  • Fill glasses with ice and divide the watermelon base evenly among them.
  • Top each glass with chilled sparkling water and stir once gently.
  • Garnish with a small watermelon wedge and a mint sprig, and serve immediately.

Good to Know

Freeze leftover cubes of the strained base into ice cubes: they keep the next pitcher cold without diluting it.
