Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew), diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Sparkling water, to top off
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Melon balls and mint sprigs, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Blend Melon Mixture: In a blender, combine the diced mixed melon, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Strain Smooth: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, ensuring a silky smooth drink base.
  3. Muddle Mint: Place a few fresh mint leaves into your serving glass and gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their natural oils and aroma.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the strained melon mixture over the ice.
  5. Add Fizz and Garnish: Top off the glass with sparkling water for a refreshing fizz. Garnish with melon balls and a sprig of mint to enhance presentation and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your Minted Melon Fizz!

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/agave according to your taste preference.
  • Use very cold sparkling water and melons for the best refreshing effect.
  • For a more intense mint flavor, add more mint leaves or infuse the melon mixture with mint before blending.
  • Can be prepared ahead by making the melon mixture and strained juice, then adding ice, mint, and sparkling water just before serving.
  • For a vegan version, ensure to use agave syrup instead of honey.
