Sparkling Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca
Created by: Joanna Smith
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped ripe watermelon
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- ½ cup coconut water (I used VitaCoco brand)
- 1- 12 ounce can of unsweetened sparkling water, divided
- handful of ice cubes (optional)
- lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, add the watermelon, lime juice, mint, and coconut water. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the watermelon mixture from your blender over a bowl or 2-cup measure with a spout. Use a spoon to press out the pulp and get as much juice out as possible. Discard pulp and set watermelon liquid aside.
- Pour a can of sparkling water evenly between two glasses.
- Distribute the watermelon mixture evenly between the glasses of sparkling water and stir each to combine.
- Add ice and garnish with lime slices. Enjoy!
Notes
~For some sparkling water options, I recommend the LaCroix and Spindrift brands. I made this recipe once with Spindrift Raspberry and once with LaCroix Cherry Lime. Both great, but I think I liked the Spindrift Raspberry best!
~Straining the watermelon mixture is optional, but I personally liked the smoother texture of the strained version. Totally your preference!
