Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 1200 gs Watermelon - A thick slice, deseeded - roughly a quarter of a small melon
- 120 ml Lime juice
- 60 ml Simple syrup - Only needed if the melon is a bland one
- 36 leaves Mint
- 360 ml Soda water
- 6 wedges Lime wedge (optional)
Pitcher (6 drinks) - about 540 ml of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Blend the melon with lime and mint, pour over ice and top with soda.
Method
- Blend the watermelon with the lime juice, syrup and mint until it is completely liquid.
- Strain it into a jug if you would rather the drink were clear, and leave it as it is if you would not.
- Pour over fresh ice in a highball glass, filling it two-thirds of the way.
- Top with soda water, add a wedge of lime and a sprig of mint, and stir once.
