Watermelon Mint Cooler

Method

1. 1

   Blend the watermelon

   Blend watermelon cubes until completely smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove pulp for a cleaner drink.

   
2. 2

   Add mint and lime

   Add mint leaves and lime juice to the blender with the strained watermelon juice. Pulse briefly — just 3–4 seconds — to infuse without turning the drink green.

   
3. 3

   Sweeten and chill

   Taste and add honey or sugar if needed. Stir well and refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the flavours meld.

   
4. 4

   Serve over ice

   Pour over ice-filled glasses, top with a splash of sparkling water, and garnish with a mint sprig and a small watermelon wedge.
