Then add the Simple Syrup as per your taste and desired sweetness level. I have added 4 table Spoon syrup in each glass here. Stir it well.

Important Points to be noted in this Watermelon Mojito Mocktail Recipe:

  1. Watermelon should be seedless before blending. If you strain it after blending, the pulp might also get strained.
  2. Blend it well so that there are no big chunks left. Everything should be small enough to pass through a straw.
  3. Add the soda just before serving. Else you will lose the fizz.
  4. You can use cold pressed watermelon juice if you want to retain maximum possible nutrients.
  5. If you don’t have brown sugar, you may use regular white sugar.
  6. You may use sprite/7up instead of soda, but then don’t add Simple Syrup as it might turn too sweet.
