Tasty Watermelon Mojito Mocktail Recipe: The Ultimate Summer Refresher


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed

  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

  • 810 fresh mint leaves

  • 12 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of watermelon)

  • Sparkling water or club soda, to top off

  • Ice cubes

  • Extra mint, lime wedges, and watermelon slices for garnish


Instructions

  • Blend the watermelon:

    • Add watermelon cubes to a blender and blend until smooth.

    • Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture (optional).

  • Muddle the mint:

    • In a large glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves with lime juice and honey using a muddler or the back of a spoon. Don’t over-muddle — just bruise the mint to release flavor.

  • Mix the mocktail:

    • Add watermelon juice to the muddled mint-lime mixture. Stir well.

  • Assemble:

    • Fill two glasses with ice.

    • Divide the watermelon mixture between the glasses.

    • Top with sparkling water or club soda.

 

  • Garnish and serve:

    • Garnish with mint sprigs, lime wedges, or a mini slice of watermelon on the rim.

    • Serve with a straw and enjoy chilled!
