A Watermelon Cucumber Cooler Mocktail is a very refreshing watermelon and cucumber juice mixed with a hint of lime and basil. The hint of herbs adds an extra layer with a slight sweetness added that can be enjoyed by itself over sparkling water for a fizzy drink.

Ingredients
  • 5 cups watermelon seedless
  • 1 English cucumber peeled and cut into chunks
  • cup lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoon honey or to taste optional
  • sparkling water
Instructions
  1. Slice watermelon into bite-size chunks (remove rind). Use a peeler to peel the outer skin from the cucumber and cut it into small chunks.

  2. Add watermelon, cucumber, and fresh basil to blender and puree. This step of pureeing should not take long since food is fresh and not frozen (less than a minute). Set a large fine-mesh sieve over a pitcher. Pour puree mix through the sieve. Use or back of a large spoon to press any remaining juice into the pitcher.

  3. In a small bowl add lime juice and honey (optional) and stir to combine. Add lime juice and honey to a bowl of watermelon and cucumber. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey per taste.

  4. Assemble the drink by placing several ice cubes in a drinking glass. Pour watermelon cucumber juice into a drinking glass. Add a bit of fizz by pouring sparkling water to each drinking glass. Use a small spoon to stir. Garnish with extra limes and basil and enjoy!
