Watermelon Mint Halloween Refresher Punch
Equipment
- Blender
- Pitcher
- Fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 20 fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cups chilled sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- Watermelon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Place the cubed watermelon and mint leaves in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing gently to extract the liquid. Discard the solids.
- Stir the lime juice and honey into the strained watermelon until the honey dissolves.
- Add the chilled sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
- Fill four glasses with ice cubes. Pour the punch over the ice and add a mint sprig and watermelon wedge to each glass.
Notes
Chill the watermelon cubes ahead of time so the punch stays cold without extra ice that could dilute the flavor. If the watermelon is very sweet, start with one tablespoon of honey and taste before adding the second. Prepare the watermelon base up to a few hours in advance and add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz.
