Ingredients

• 1/2 cup watermelon, cut into chunks
• 2 fresh mint leaves
• the juice of 1/2 a fresh lime
• 1/2 cup water or sparkling water

Here’s how you make it:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender (except sparkling water, if using).
2. Blend. Add more water if you prefer a thinner drink. Add sparkling water, if using. 
3. Stir and enjoy.

I generally substitute flavored sparkling water for champagne, fruit juice for rum, and lemon-lime soda for tequila. The key is to not overdo it on the sugar, so try muddled fruit or herbs instead.
