Ingredients

• 4 cups Watermelon, cubed (seedless)
• 0.25 cups Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
• 10 leaves Mint leaves, fresh
• 2 cups Club soda or sparkling water
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 4 pieces Lime wedges
• 4 pieces Fresh watermelon slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the cubed watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. This should yield about 3 cups of watermelon juice.

Step 2

Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the watermelon juice into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp. Discard the pulp.

Step 3

Add the fresh lime juice and honey (or agave syrup) to the watermelon juice. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fill four glasses with equal amounts of ice cubes.

Step 6

Strain the mint-infused watermelon mixture into each glass, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Top off each glass with club soda or sparkling water for a fizzy finish and stir gently to combine.

Step 8

Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a slice of fresh watermelon on the rim for a vibrant presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of Electric Melon!
