Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh watermelon, diced

1 cup sparkling water

1/2 cup simple syrup (made from equal parts sugar and water)

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Crushed ice

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Watermelon wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Puree: Place the diced watermelon into a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp if desired. You should have about 1 cup of watermelon juice.

    Mix the Base: In a large glass, combine the watermelon juice, simple syrup, and lime juice. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

      Add Sparkle: Slowly pour in the sparkling water. This will create a fizzy reaction, so pour gently to avoid overflowing.

        Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass with crushed ice, then pour the watermelon mixture over the ice.

          Garnish: Top with fresh mint leaves and, if using, add a small watermelon wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra festive touch.

            Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Italian Soda!
