Who doesn't enjoy watermelon during a scorching summer day?!
Watermelon Fizz is a simple, vibrant, and invigorating beverage packed with watermelon, lime, and mint! Ideal for summer gatherings or a relaxed evening! You can transform it into an alcoholic cocktail or savor it as a refreshing drink.
Servings: ~ 1l
Prep time: 15 mins
What you need
1 small watermelon ( seeds and rind removed, chopped )
2 lime, wedged
6-8 mint leaves, torn
200 ml tonic water
ice cubes
200ml gin (optional)
What you do
1. First, start by juicing cutting your watermelon into chunks, removing and discarding the rind. Place the watermelon in a high-speed blender or food processor, and blend until completely pureed. If you don't want to remove the seeds before, you can strain the juice in a fine-mesh to remove pulp and seeds.
2. In a large pitcher add the mint leaves, crushed (to release more flavour), freshly squeezed lime juice, the watermelon juice and of course, if you want to turn it into an alcoholic cocktail, add the gin before the watermelon juice.
3. Give it a stir, and then add ice. Stir until very cold. Top with the tonic water and garnish with watermelon slices, lime, and mint. Enjoy!
