Sweet Watermelon Mint Summer Spritzer Recipe
Ingredients
• 4 cups fresh watermelon
• 2–3 fresh mint leaves
• juice of 1 lime
• 4 teaspoons honey (more to taste)
• 1 tablespoon club soda (or more)*
Directions
• Roughly chop up 2-3 cups of watermelon; try to remove as many seeds as possible.
• Add to blender along with 2-3 mint leaves, lime juice and honey.
• Blend until fully liquid.
• Taste and, if you want it to be sweeter, add a little bit of honey at a time until you have reached your desired sweetness.
• Strain the watermelon mixture – this will ensure the consistency is smooth.
• Take glass and add 3 cubes of watermelon (about 1×1 inch) as well as several ice cubes.
• Pour watermelon mixture over top, leaving about 1/2 inch or more at the top
• Add a splash of club soda or other sparking water.
• Garnish with additional mint leaves and a slice of lime.
NOTES
Club Soda*: you could also use a fun watermelon mineral water to add additional flavor!
Strain: don’t skip the straining part – otherwise the consistency will be a bit weird and separation will occur.
