Spicy Watermelon Mocktail
Servings 4 glasses
Ingredients
- 1 medium seedless watermelon ripe and cubed
- Juice of 1 lime
- 4 –5 tbsp maple syrup adjust to taste
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
- Club soda to serve
- Tajín seasoning
- Zest of 1 lime
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges for rimming

Instructions
- Add the cubed watermelon, lime juice, maple syrup, and ¼ cup mint leaves to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing gently to extract the juice. Discard the pulp.
- In a small dish, mix Tajín with the lime zest. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rims into the Tajín-lime mixture.
- Fill each glass with ice. Pour in the strained watermelon-mint juice, then top with an equal amount of club soda (1:1 ratio). Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish each glass with fresh mint and, if desired, a thin slice of jalapeño for a hint of heat. Serve immediately.
