Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For a sweeter punch, use a higher ratio of simple syrup to watermelon. For a less sweet version, use less.
Muddle the mint gently to avoid bruising it and releasing bitterness. A few light presses are all you need.
To enhance the visual appeal, use a combination of regular and mini cucumber slices for garnishing.
Consider adding other fruits like berries or citrus for extra flavor and color variations. Try adding a splash of vodka or gin for an adult version.
