Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and seedless

1 cup soda water (or sparkling water)

1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Crushed ice

Lime slices and watermelon wedges for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the fresh watermelon cubes and blend until smooth. If desired, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp for a smoother texture.

    In a tall glass, add a layer of crushed ice, filling it about halfway.

      Pour the freshly blended watermelon juice over the ice.

        Add the lime juice and simple syrup to the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

          Slowly top off the glass with soda water, allowing it to mix gently without losing all the bubbles.

            Garnish with a lime slice, a wedge of watermelon on the rim, and a sprig of fresh mint for an extra pop of flavor and color.

              Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
