Equipment

  • Blender: Essential for mixing the ingredients into a smooth blend.
  • Knife and Cutting Board: Useful for prepping the melon.
  • Citrus Juicer: To get fresh lime juice for tanginess.
  • Strainer: Optional, but it helps remove any pulp.
  • Pitcher and Stirrer: Handy for mixing and serving.
  • Glasses: Chilled, if possible, for the best experience.

Ingredients

Here's what you need for this zesty mocktail:

  • 2 cups of cubed honeydew melon 🌿
  • 1 cup of fresh mint leaves 🌿
  • Juice of 2 limes πŸ‹
  • 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup 🍯
  • 1 cup of chilled sparkling water 🍾
  • Ice cubes 🧊

I chose fresh ingredients for maximum flavor, especially when mint is at its greenest. Adjust sweetness with more or less honey to suit your taste.

Instructions

I find making this mocktail very easy and fun. Here’s how I do it:

  • Blend the honeydew melon and mint leaves in a blender until smooth.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any chunks.
  • Add lime juice and honey, then stir until combined.
  • Pour in chilled sparkling water and stir gently to avoid losing the fizz.
  • Serve in glasses over ice and add a mint sprig for garnish.

This should only take about 10 minutes, so I can enjoy it quickly on a hot day.

    Notes

    Here are a few tips and tricks I've found useful:
    Mint Variation: If mint is too strong, reduce it or swap some for basil.
    Sweetness Level: Adjust honey or use agave or sugar substitute if preferred.
    Chill Time: Chill the glasses and melon beforehand for a more refreshing sip.
    Sparkling Water: Replace with tonic water if you like a slightly bitter taste.
    With these notes in mind, it’s easy to customize the drink to my liking. 😊
