How to Serve Watermelon Mint Mojito Mocktail

When it comes time to serve, go all out! Use clear glasses so that beautiful pinkish-red color shines through. You might even want to add a fancy straw or a colorful umbrella for that extra wow factor. The aroma of fresh mint wafting through the air will have everyone flocking to your drink station — just watch out for those repeat requests! 🍹

How to Store Watermelon Mint Mojito Mocktail

This mocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, no worries! Keep it in the fridge for about 1-2 days. Just a heads up, though: the mint might lose a bit of its fresh punch. If you want to prep ahead of time, blend and store the juice separate from the sparkling water, adding the fizz just before serving.

Tips to Make Watermelon Mint Mojito Mocktail

Try using seedless watermelon to avoid any pesky seeds that could ruin your sipping experience.
For a nice kick, throw in a splash of ginger ale along with the sparkling water—trust me, it adds a lovely zing!
Got too much mint? Tuck some in your fridge for future batches or sprinkle it on top to make your glass look super fancy!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Switch it up by adding coconut water for a tropical twist! You could also throw in a few berries for a burst of color and flavor. And for all my vegan friends, simply skip the honey and use agave syrup instead.
