Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 8-10 lbs) Seedless Watermelon
- 0.25 cup Lime Juice
- 1 cup Pineapple Juice
- 3 cups Sparkling Water or Lemon-Lime Soda
- 0.5 cup Mint Leaves
- 4 cups (optional, for serving) Ice Cubes
- 1 for garnish (optional) Lime Slices
- 1 sprig (for garnish, optional) Additional Mint Leaves
Instructions
Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh into a blender. Discard the rind.
Blend the watermelon flesh until smooth. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in batches.
Pour the blended watermelon through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. Discard the pulp or save it for another use.
Add the lime juice, pineapple juice, and mint leaves to the strained watermelon juice. Stir well to combine.
Chill the punch in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
When ready to serve, pour the chilled watermelon mixture into a serving bowl or pitcher.
Slowly add the sparkling water or lemon-lime soda just before serving to retain the fizz. Gently stir to combine.
Serve over ice in individual glasses, if desired. Garnish with lime slices and fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
