Notes

Choose a ripe watermelon for the best flavor; look for one that feels heavy and has a creamy yellow spot. Avoid over-muddling the mint, as it can release bitter compounds. Serve immediately after adding the sparkling water to maintain its fizz. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days without the sparkling water. For an elegant touch, freeze small watermelon cubes to use as ice cubes!
