Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed fresh watermelon
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 3–4 limes)
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Soda water to top up
- Extra lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, discarding the rind and any white parts to ensure a sweet, fresh base for the mocktail.
- Blend ingredients: Add the watermelon cubes and fresh lime juice to a blender and blend until smooth, using a tamper if necessary. If your blender is small, blend in batches to process all the watermelon.
- Strain juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp, then transfer the smooth juice to a jug for serving.
- Assemble mocktail: Fill glasses or a large pitcher with crushed ice. Pour the watermelon lime juice into each glass or pitcher until half 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 best freshness.
Notes
- Don’t have crushed ice? Place ice cubes in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin for quick crushed ice.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to suit your taste—add more for extra tang or reduce slightly for a sweeter mocktail.
- Use fresh watermelon and fresh lime juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Serve immediately to maintain the bubbly freshness of the soda water and the vibrant taste.
