Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed fresh watermelon
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3–4 limes)
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Soda water (to taste)
- Extra lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, discarding the rind and any white parts. This ensures a sweet and fresh base for your mocktail.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the watermelon cubes and fresh lime juice to a blender. Blend until smooth, using a tamper if necessary. If your blender is small, blend in batches to process all the watermelon evenly.
- Strain the Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp, transferring the strained juice to a jug for a smooth consistency.
- Assemble the Mocktail: Fill glasses or a large pitcher with crushed ice. Pour the watermelon lime juice into each glass or pitcher until halfway full, then top 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, then serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- If you don’t have crushed ice, place ice cubes in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin as an easy alternative.
- Adjust the lime juice quantity to your preference: add more for extra tang or reduce slightly for a sweeter taste.
- Use fresh watermelon and freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately to maintain the sparkle and freshness of the soda water.
