Step-by-Step Instructions for Refreshing Watermelon Mint Mojito Mocktail
- Cut the seedless watermelon into chunks, using about 2 cups. Blend on high for 10-15 seconds until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to yield approximately 1 cup of fresh watermelon juice.
- In a tall glass or cocktail shaker, add six fresh mint leaves, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup. Muddle gently for about 20 seconds to release mint oils.
- Pour about 3 ounces of the freshly prepared watermelon juice into the glass with the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Fill the glass two-thirds full with ice.
- Pour 1 cup of sparkling water or club soda over the ice, stirring gently to combine.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves and a wedge of watermelon, then serve immediately.

Notes
Use ripe watermelon for maximum sweetness. Chill glasses ahead for a frosty experience. Adjust sweetness by tasting the watermelon juice and adding more syrup if needed.
