10 fragrant fresh mint leaves

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

Sparkling water (to top off your drink)

Ice cubes

      Next, drizzle in the honey or agave syrup and stir vigorously to combine the sweetener with the muddled mint and lime juice, allowing the flavors to meld together.

        Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink refreshingly cool. Pour the freshly strained watermelon juice over the ice, filling the glass to about three-quarters full.

          Top off the drink with sparkling water, filling to your desired level, and give it a gentle stir to blend everything together without losing the fizz.

            To elevate your mocktail, garnish it with a lime wedge resting on the rim and a sprig of mint nestled into the drink for a vibrant finish.
