Ingredients
1 pc watermelon
1 cup sugar
1 bunch mint leaves
2 pcs lime
2 ounces soda water
Method
If you don’t already have simple syrup prepare the simple syrup by mixing 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes but stir every now and then. Allow to cool and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
Cut the watermelon into chunks to fill ¾ of a cup and blend with lime juice. Muddle the mint leaves at the bottom of a cocktail shaker to release their juices. Fill the shaker 1/3 way with ice, pour in 7 tablespoons of blended watermelon, and 1½ tablespoon simple syrup (rest can be kept for other mocktails or cocktails). Shake well, pour into a glass and top off with soda water.
Garnish each glass with a watermelon wedge and a sprig of mint.
