Secret to the Freshest Watermelon Mint Spritzer

Start by blending your watermelon and straining it for pure juice. In each glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves and lime wedges to release their flavors, then add a generous pour of watermelon juice. Top each glass with chilled sparkling water or club soda, a few ice cubes, and garnish with extra mint or a watermelon wedge. For an extra pop, rim your cups with sugar or salt before pouring!
