This refreshing drink mixes sweet watermelon with fizzy Sprite for a cool summer treat. The bright red color and fruity taste make it perfect for parties and warm days.
Cut the watermelon into 1-inch chunks. Remove any black seeds.
Place watermelon chunks in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour the watermelon puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp.
Fill tall glasses halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the strained watermelon juice into each glass, filling about 2/3 full.
Add lime juice to each glass.
Top off each glass with cold Sprite.
Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with mint leaves and watermelon wedges.
Notes
Store extra watermelon juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days.For best results, use fresh, ripe watermelon. The redder the flesh, the prettier the drink.Make sure the Sprite is very cold before mixing. Warm soda will make the drink flat.Kids love this drink at summer parties. It's a great non-alcoholic option for all ages.Keep the ingredients separate until ready to serve. The soda will lose its fizz if mixed too early.
