Juice of ½ lime
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Lime wedge, for garnish
Crushed ice
Instructions
1. Blend the cubed watermelon until smooth.
2. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.

6. Just before serving, add Sprite and stir gently.

Freeze watermelon chunks to use as ice cubes.
For a sour twist, add lemon juice or rim the glass with Tajín.
