Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed watermelon, chilled
- 1 cup cubed honeydew melon, chilled
- 1 cup cubed cantaloupe, chilled
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 2 cups sparkling water, chilled

- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Thin lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove any pulp, pressing down with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Add the honey or agave syrup to the pitcher, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Gently stir in the chilled sparkling water to maintain the spritzer’s effervescence.
- Fill each glass with ice cubes, then pour the melon lime mixture over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a thin slice of lime for a refreshing touch.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For a sweeter drink, add more honey or agave to taste.
- Enhance the presentation by serving the spritzer in clear glasses to highlight the vibrant colors of the drink.
- If you’re having a gathering, consider creating a self-serve spritzer bar with various fruits and garnishes.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover melon base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before using.
- If melons are out of season, you can use frozen melon chunks; just let them thaw slightly before blending.
- Agave syrup can be replaced with simple syrup or your favorite sweetener.
