Description
This Watermelon Spritzer is the ultimate summer refresher, combining the sweet juiciness of watermelon with the zesty brightness of lime and the subtle freshness of mint. A touch of honey balances the flavors perfectly, while the addition of sparkling water gives the drink a bubbly lift that’s both fun and refreshing.
Ingredients
4 cups fresh watermelon, roughly chopped (seeds removed as much as possible)
2–3 fresh mint leaves
Juice of 1 lime
4 teaspoons honey (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon club soda (or more, to taste)
Instructions
Prepare the Watermelon: Roughly chop 2-3 cups of fresh watermelon, removing as many seeds as possible. Place the chopped watermelon in a blender.
Blend: Add the fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and honey to the blender. Blend until the mixture becomes a smooth liquid. Taste the mixture, and if you’d like it sweeter, gradually add more honey until you reach your desired sweetness.
Strain: Pour the watermelon mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp and achieve a smooth consistency.
Assemble the Drink: Take a glass and add 3 small watermelon cubes (about 1×1 inch) along with several ice cubes. Pour the strained watermelon mixture over the ice, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the glass.
Finish with Club Soda: Add a splash of club soda or sparkling water to the glass for a bubbly finish.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the drink with additional mint leaves and a slice of lime. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, hydrating spritzer!
