- 1 cup fresh watermelon chunks
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves

Notes
- Use fresh, ripe watermelon for the sweetest, juiciest flavor. If your watermelon isn’t very sweet, you can add a bit more simple syrup to balance the taste.
- Muddle the mint leaves gently to release their flavor without crushing them too much, as this can make the drink bitter.
- For a more tropical twist, you can substitute the club soda with coconut water or a splash of lemon-lime soda for extra sweetness and fizz.
- Serve over crushed ice for an even more refreshing sip, especially on hot summer days.
- Garnish with a watermelon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a vibrant and colorful presentation that enhances the cocktail’s tropical feel.
