Ingredients & Substitutions
For the watermelon, I love using seedless varieties for convenience, but if you find one with seeds, it’ll still work just fine! Fresh mint is key here; dried mint just doesn’t have the same vibrant flavor. If you want to mix it up, try adding a splash of coconut water for an extra tropical twist.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my watermelon in the fridge for a few hours before making this – it really enhances that refreshing vibe!
- •If you want a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine sieve before adding the sparkling water.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a handful of basil for a different flavor profile.
- •You can also swap the lime juice for lemon juice if that’s what you have on hand.
Storage & Freezing
This refresher is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just remember to add more sparkling water before serving again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can definitely prepare the watermelon and mint mixture ahead of time, but I recommend adding the sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy!

Ingredients
Instructions

Start by cubing your chilled watermelon. I usually use about half a medium-sized watermelon, but you can adjust based on how many servings you need.
- 2
In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and agave syrup.
- 3
Blend on high until everything is smooth. It should be beautifully pink and frothy!

Taste the mixture, and if you want it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more agave syrup.
- 5
Now, pour the watermelon mixture into a pitcher, and gently stir in the sparkling water.
- 6
Serve immediately over ice, and garnish with extra mint leaves or a slice of lime if you’re feeling fancy.
