Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed fresh watermelon
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3–4 limes)
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Soda water to top up
- Extra lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing the rind and any white parts to ensure only fresh flesh is used.
- Blend the mixture: Add the watermelon cubes and fresh lime juice to a blender. Blend until smooth, using a tamper if needed. If the blender is small, blend in batches.
- Strain the juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp, and transfer the strained juice to a jug.
- Assemble the mocktail: Fill glasses or a large pitcher halfway with crushed ice. Pour watermelon lime juice into each until half full, then top up with soda water.
- Garnish and serve: Add a sprig of fresh mint and a lime slice to each glass. Serve immediately for best flavor and freshness.
Notes
- If you don’t have crushed ice, place regular ice cubes in a zip-lock bag and crush them using a rolling pin for easy substitution.
- Adjust the lime juice quantity to your taste preference—add more for a tangier drink or less for a sweeter mocktail.
