Place the cubed watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. This should yield about 3 cups of watermelon juice.
Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the watermelon juice into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp. Discard the pulp.
Add the fresh lime juice and honey (or agave syrup) to the watermelon juice. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Using your hands, gently smack the mint leaves to release their fragrance, then add them to the watermelon mixture. Let the mint swim in the juice for about 5 minutes for a more infused flavor.
Fill four glasses with equal amounts of ice cubes.
Strain the mint-infused watermelon mixture into each glass, filling them about three-quarters full.
Top off each glass with club soda or sparkling water for a fizzy finish and stir gently to combine.
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a slice of fresh watermelon on the rim for a vibrant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of Electric Melon!
