Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh watermelon cubes
- 12 mint leaves plus more for garnish
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup honey simple syrup
- Lime sparkling water
Instructions
- First, make the maple simple syrup by combining equal parts maple syrup and water in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture to a low simmer and let the syrup cook for around five minutes until it begins to thicken a bit. Once the syrup has thickened a bit, remove the sauce pan from the heat and allow it to cool. When the syrup has come to a complete cool, transfer it to a clean, air-tight, storage container. Store the simple syrup in the fridge to keep it fresh.
- Next, add the watermelon, lime juice, and mint leaves to a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Once the mixture is well blended, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
- Add the maple simple syrup to the watermelon mixture.
- Divide the watermelon mixture between glasses filled with ice.
- Top each glass off with lime sparkling water and garnish with fresh mint and watermelon. Serve and enjoy!
