    1. Start by combining lime juice and sugar in a pitcher. Mix well until the sugar dissolves. 
    2. Now add in the soda, frozen watermelon, and mint leaves. Stir well, then pour into glasses. 
    3. Garnish with mint or hang slices of watermelon on the edge of the glass. 

    The full directions and ingredient measurements are in the printable recipe card below. 

    Tips and Tricks

    two glasses of watermelon drink

    Frozen Watermelon

    I recommend using a scoop to form round watermelon balls. Then lay the balls out on a baking sheet to freeze. These watermelon balls offer a stunning presentation in the drink to have it in a nice round ball shape. 

    You could also use a cookie cutter to cut the watermelon into even pieces. 

    Serve Soon After Assembly 

    Since you are working with frozen watermelon, I highly recommend assembling this mocktail right before you go to serve it. That way the fruit is still frozen and doesn't sog up the drink. 

    Variations

    Add Additional Fruit 

    Consider using other fruit besides the watermelon. Strawberries, cherries, or even red grapes could be a tasty addition to the recipe. As the fruit melts, it will add even more flavor to the mocktail. 

    Lemon Lime Soda 

    Instead of soda water, swap with a lemon lime soda. It will give the drink a lot of fizz and compliment the lime and fruit flavors in the drink. 

    Use Lemon instead of Lime Juice 

    Go right ahead and substitute fresh lemon juice instead of lime to give a more lemonade feel to the watermelon drink. 

    Skip The Mint 

    If you are not a huge fan of mint, feel free to leave the mint out. I love adding the mint to help tone down all the other citrus flavors in the drink. 

    Fizzy Watermelon Mocktail FAQs

    What flavor mixes well with watermelon?

    When it comes to watermelon in drinks, you will find that mint, lime, lemon, and even salt around the glass can compliment the watermelon. The salt enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit. 

    What is a mocktail?

    Mocktails are mixed drinks that do not contain alcohol. You will find this watermelon fizz can easily go from a mocktail to a cocktail if alcohol is added.

    How can I make this watermelon mocktail alcoholic? 

    Add a shot or two to your drink and flavor to your liking. Vodka or rum are both great options to pair with all the other ingredients in the recipe.
