Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- ¾ cups sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 seedless watermelon
- 8 limes
- 4 cups club soda
- ¼ cup fresh mint
Instructions
- Combine the water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan to create a simple syrup. Bring to a rapid simmer to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, set aside to cool.
- Peel the watermelon and cut the flesh into cubes (you should have about 2 cups.)
- Use a blender to puree the watermelon until smooth.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or pitcher and pour the watermelon puree through it to remove any seeds or pulp. Use a spoon to press the puree against the strainer and extract as much liquid as possible.
- Juice 6 of the limes and add to the watermelon juice.
- Slice the remaining limes into thin rounds and add to a pitcher. Add the mint and muddle to release the flavors.
- Pour in the watermelon juice and club soda. Stir gently to combine.
- Chill well and serve over ice. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of watermelon, if desired.
