  4. Juice the lime using a citrus press or juicer, then add the fresh lime juice and whole mint leaves to the strained watermelon liquid in the pitcher.
  5. Stir in honey or agave syrup if desired, then refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to chill and allow the mint to infuse the flavor.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled watermelon mixture over the ice, and garnish with additional mint leaves or lime slices if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave. For a sparkling effect, top each glass with a splash of club soda before serving.
