Notes

Make ahead, storage, and freezing instructions

To make ahead: You can make this drink 3-4 hours ahead of time by preparing the watermelon mixture and storing in the fridge. Before you're ready to serve, blend again. Do note that the sparkling water may become flat so it's best served fresh.

To store: Leftover mocktail can be stored in the fridge for up to two days. However, texture will change and it's best to shake or blend before serving again.

To freeze: You can also turn leftover mocktails into summer popsicles. Freeze into popsicle molds and serve as a fun summer dessert.

Recipe variations

Winter breeze: Try adding a few mint leaves before blending for an extra burst of flavor.

Fruity: Feel free to add in extra fruit like fresh berries or a couple of tablespoons of raspberry simple syrup.

Tropical twist: Instead of sparkling water, you can blend with coconut water for a tropical spin.

A little kick: If you like spicy drinks, consider rimming the glass with hot honey and Tajin or blending with a dash of cayenne pepper and jalapeño slices.
