Refreshing Mint Watermelon Drink 🍉

Ingredients

• 3 cups (±450 g) seedless watermelon, cubed
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 10–12 fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup crushed ice
• Sparkling water or still water (optional, for topping off)
• Watermelon slices and mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

• 1. Blend the base:
• In a blender, combine watermelon cubes, lime juice, mint leaves, and honey (if using).
• Blend until smooth.
• 2. Strain (optional):
• If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the mixture through a fine sieve.
• 3. Assemble:
• Fill two tall glasses with crushed ice.
• Pour the watermelon mixture over the ice, filling ¾ of the glass.
• Top off with sparkling or still water if desired.
• Garnish with mint sprigs and a wedge or slice of watermelon.
• 💡 Tip: Chill the watermelon before blending for an extra cold drink. Also great as a mocktail base with a splash of tonic or ginger beer!
