Equipment
You can make this mocktail without using a cocktail shaker or any other fancy equipment; although, there’s nothing to stop you from making the drink in that way to impress guests. Or, you know, just to feel like you’re drinking a cocktail.
It’s fun to make a non-alcoholic drink in the same way as an alcoholic one – and it’s great for those who want the drinking experience without the hassle of a hangover.
This recipe will provide you with a 120ml drink, so you’ll need glasses that are at least 120ml. If you’re the kind of person who likes to fill their glass with ice, you will (obviously) need larger glasses.
I recommend 240ml for some ice.
For lots of ice, opt for a 385ml size glass or larger.
Alternatively, make up your own rules! The cocktail police aren’t going to come and arrest you if you serve up a mocktail in the wrong kind of glass.
Step By Step: Watermelon Mint Mocktail
Here is how to make this delicious, summery watermelon mint mocktail – sans alcohol – in three easy steps.
Step One: Chill the Glass
Chilling the glass really is as simple as it sounds! You grab the glass you plan to serve your watermelon mint mocktail in, then fill it with ice, then leave the ice to chill the glass while you finish making the drink.
When the drink is ready to pour simply pour out the now-melting ice, add “new” ice, then pour the mocktail in. The “old” ice just chills the glass.
Step Two: Construct the Mocktail
Into your chilled glass, add as much ice as you like along with the watermelon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Give it a good but gentle stir. You can use a cocktail stirrer, a spoon, a chop stick, or whatever else you happen to have handy.
Step Three: Garnish
Place a slice of watermelon on the rim of the glass, and a sprig of mint in the drink itself for garnish.
To be honest with you, when it comes to garnish, you can add whatever you like. If you’re not a big fan of mint, don’t add mint. If you’d rather add a strawberry than a slice of watermelon, do that. I thoroughly recommend getting experimental. Who knows what delicious drinks you might create as a result!
