Ingredients
1 cup watermelon, seedless and diced
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
8-10 fresh mint leaves
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (optional)
Sparkling water or club soda, chilled
Ice cubes
Mint sprigs and watermelon wedges, for garnish (optional)
Directions
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced watermelon, cucumber, mint leaves, lime juice, and honey or simple syrup (if desired). Blend until smooth and well combined.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp or solids.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, leaving some room at the top for the sparkling water.
Pour the strained watermelon-cucumber mixture evenly into the glasses, filling them about halfway.
Top up each glass with chilled sparkling water or club soda, gently stirring to combine.
Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint and a small watermelon wedge, if desired.
Serve the Cucumber Mint Watermelon Spritz immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavours.
