  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 6-8 fresh mint leaves

Shopping Tips:

  • Watermelon: Choose a seedless watermelon with a hollow sound when tapped, indicating ripeness.
  • Mint: Look for fresh, fragrant mint leaves that are vibrant green and free of wilting.
  • Soda Water: Opt for plain, unsweetened soda water to keep the drink light and refreshing.

Cooking Tips:

  • Extra Zing: Add a dash of fresh ginger juice for a spicy twist that complements the sweetness of the watermelon.
  • Presentation: Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for a visually appealing touch.
  • Chill Ingredients: Use pre-chilled watermelon and soda water to make the drink extra refreshing.
