I remember the first time I made this Minty Watermelon Fizz.

The idea of blending them with fresh mint and a splash of sparkling water just felt right.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes

- •If you have any leftover juice, it keeps well in the fridge for a day or two, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of coconut water for an extra tropical twist.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in some fresh berries for a burst of color and flavor.
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the watermelon juice (without the sparkling water) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just remember to add the sparkling water right before you're ready to sip!
Frequently Asked Questions
