Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Juice
- 4 cups cubed fresh watermelon
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3–4 limes)
Garnish and Toppings
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Soda water (to top)
- Extra lime slices for garnish
Other
- Crushed ice (enough to fill glasses or pitcher)
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, discarding the rind and any white parts.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the watermelon cubes and lime juice to a blender and blend until smooth, using a tamper if necessary. If your blender is small, work in batches to blend all the watermelon.
- Strain Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp, then transfer the strained juice to a jug.
- Assemble Drink: Fill glasses or a large pitcher with crushed ice. Pour the watermelon lime juice into each glass or pitcher until it’s halfway full.
- Top with Soda Water: Add soda water to fill the remaining space in each glass or pitcher.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime slice, then serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don’t have crushed ice, place ice cubes in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to suit your taste—add more for extra tang or reduce slightly for a sweeter taste.
