Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Seedless watermelon (cubed)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup Cold water or sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Place the cubed watermelon into a blender. Blend on high until the watermelon is completely smooth and no chunks remain.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the blended watermelon into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. Discard the pulp or save it for another use.
Add the fresh lime juice and honey (if using) to the watermelon juice. Stir until well combined.
Gently muddle the mint leaves in a small bowl or glass to release their natural oils, then add them to the watermelon mixture.
Pour in the cold water or sparkling water and stir well to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Watermelon Splash over the ice.
Garnish with additional mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
