Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew), diced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- Sparkling water, to top off
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Melon balls and mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Blend Melons: In a blender, combine the diced mixed melon, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the blended melon mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, resulting in a smooth liquid base for the drink.
- Muddle Mint: In each glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves gently to release their aromatic oils and flavor.
- Assemble Drink: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the strained melon mixture over the ice.
- Add Sparkling Water and Garnish: Top off the glass with sparkling water to add fizz. Garnish with melon balls and mint sprigs for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing minted melon fizz!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or agave syrup according to your taste preference.
- To make melon balls, use a melon baller for an appealing garnish.
- For a stronger mint flavor, you can also blend some mint leaves with the melon mixture before straining.
- This recipe can be made ahead by preparing the melon mixture and refrigerating, then adding sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizz.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor and brightness.
