Ingredients required for Watermelon Mocktail

- 1/4 cup lemon
- 4 mint leaves
- 1 cup club soda
- 1/3 cup honey
Cooking steps for Watermelon Mocktail
- 1Grab the juiciest watermelon you can find for the mocktail—four cups of cubed goodness is all you need. If it's not seedless, take a few extra minutes to de-seed it because no one wants seeds messing with their chill.
- 2Toss those cubes into a blender with a quarter cup of freshly squeezed lime juice (trust me, the zesty vibes are worth it), four mint leaves, and a third of a cup of honey for that natural sweet kick. Add a splash of club soda to bring in the fizz—it's what makes this mocktail feel like a party in a glass. Blend it all together until you've got a smooth, pink dream happening.
- 3Once blended, strain the mix through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of the pulp unless you're into that textured vibe. Straining makes it classy and cocktail-bar smooth. Pour the magic over ice in your favorite glasses, and don't hold back on the garnishes. Add a sprig of mint for the herbal pop, tuck a lime slice on the rim, or float some orange slices for that Insta-worthy moment. Sip it immediately while it's icy and bubbly. This recipe of watermelon mocktail is summer in a glass—sweet, tangy, fizzy, and so refreshing you might just make it your go-to drink for every sunny day.
