Ingredients
- 4 cups of cubed watermelon
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups of sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon and sliced kiwis. Blend until smooth. The vibrant colors and fresh aroma will start filling your kitchen.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, ensuring a smooth and delightful drink.
- Add in the honey or agave syrup if you’re opting for a bit of additional sweetness. Stir until well combined.
- Add the sparkling water to the pitcher and gently stir to combine. You will hear the effervescent bubbles merging with the fruity base – a sign of pure refreshment.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Watermelon Kiwi Spritzer over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for that extra hint of freshness.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For a natural sweetener, replace honey/agave syrup with apple juice.
- Serve the spritzer in chilled glasses to keep your drinks cooler for longer.
- For a party, you can prepare the fruit base ahead of time and add sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz alive.
Storage and Substitutions
Refrigerate any leftover watermelon-kiwi blend in an airtight container for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, just add fresh sparkling water and ice.
If watermelons or kiwis are out of season, strawberries and limes make a delightful substitute for a different yet refreshing twist.
Pairings and Complements
This spritzer would pair wonderfully with light appetizers like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salad, or a variety of cheeses and crackers. For a sweet touch, serve it alongside a vanilla panna cotta or lemon bars to balance the tangy and sweet flavors harmoniously.
