Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh watermelon cubes (600 g), seeds removed
• 1 medium lime, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30 ml)
• 10–12 fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (25 g), optional depending on sweetness
• 1 cup sparkling water or club soda (240 ml)
• 2 cups ice cubes (about 300 g)

Optional Garnishes

• Small watermelon wedges
• Extra mint sprigs
• Lime slices
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (5 g) for texture
• Simple syrup for extra sweetness

Instructions

1. Add the fresh watermelon cubes to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother drink texture.
2. Place the lime wedges, mint leaves, and sugar or honey into a large glass or cocktail shaker. Gently muddle everything together to release the fresh mint oils and lime juice.
3. Pour in the watermelon juice and fresh lime juice. Stir well until combined.
4. Fill two serving glasses with ice cubes. Divide the watermelon mixture evenly between the glasses.
5. Top each glass with sparkling water or club soda for that classic mojito fizz. Stir gently to combine without losing the bubbles.
6. Garnish with extra mint sprigs, watermelon wedges, and lime slices for a beautiful Pinterest-worthy presentation.
7. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly for the freshest flavor.

Helpful Tips

• Chill the watermelon before blending for an extra cold and refreshing drink.
• Use ripe, sweet watermelon so you need less added sugar.
• For a frozen version, blend the watermelon with ice instead of serving over ice cubes.

Tips & Variations

Helpful Tips

• Use seedless watermelon for the smoothest and easiest preparation.
• Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to release more juice.

• Chill your glasses in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing drink.

Delicious Variations

• Add fresh strawberries for a watermelon strawberry mojito twist.
• Swap sparkling water with lemon-lime soda for a sweeter mocktail.
• Blend the drink with crushed ice for a frozen slushy-style version.
• Add cucumber slices for a spa-inspired refreshing flavor.
• Stir in coconut water for a tropical summer variation.

Storage Tips

• Store the watermelon base mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Add sparkling water only right before serving to keep the fizz fresh.
• Keep leftover watermelon juice in an airtight jar or pitcher in the fridge.

Make-Ahead Tip
