Ingredients

How do you make a watermelon spritz with mint and lime?

Cut the watermelon into pieces and remove the seeds. Put the pieces in a blender and blend until smooth.
Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher so you end up with a clear, smooth juice without fibres.
Squeeze the limes and add the juice to the pitcher with the watermelon juice. Stir well.
Add a generous handful of fresh mint leaves to the pitcher and let the mixture infuse for 10 minutes for more flavour.
Fill each highball glass halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the watermelon-lime mixture about one third into each glass.
Top up the glass with prosecco (or sparkling water for an alcohol-free version). Stir gently so the bubbles are preserved.
Garnish each glass with a lime wheel, a sprig of fresh mint and optionally a small piece of watermelon on the rim. Serve immediately.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

A good summer cocktail starts with the right glass. Sturdy highball glasses really let the lovely pink color of the watermelon shine and feel nice in the hand. Whether you serve them at a garden party or a relaxed get-together on the terrace: with the right glasses you immediately set a mood that puts everyone in a summer frame of mind.

Want to make an alcohol-free version? Simply replace the prosecco with sparkling water or a light tonic. To add extra depth of flavour, add a splash of agave syrup or a few slices of fresh ginger to the pitcher. Taste, adjust and enjoy. It's that simple.
