Description
Light and bubbly, our sparkling watermelon cocktail is an easy, made-from-scratch beverage to sip on all summer long.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cubed watermelon, chilled (about 12 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, chilled
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup or light agave nectar
- 1 bottle sweet prosecco (750 mL), chilled
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Small watermelon cubes or wedges, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the cubed watermelon, lemon juice, and simple syrup or agave nectar into a blender. Process at a high speed until completely smooth, about 10 seconds.
- Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher, using a spoon to lightly press down on any solids. This will yield about 1 cup of liquid. Dispose of the solids.
- Fill 4 glasses with ice. Pour the watermelon juice into each glass over the ice, divided evenly. Slowly pour the prosecco over the watermelon juice to top off each glass.
- Garnish each rim with a watermelon wedge, if using. Serve immediately.
