Notes
No watermelon? No problem!: This recipe would also be delicious with cantaloupe, honeydew, or even grapes.
Don’t have fresh mint on hand?: You could use a drop or two of peppermint extract, or even some finely chopped basil leaves.
Out of club soda or seltzer?: You can always swap in plain water and add our own bubbles using a Soda Stream or use your favorite unsweetened sparkling water.
No agave nectar/stevia blend on hand?: Regular agave nectar, honey, date syrup or maple syrup are all great substitutes. The carbs/sugars will be higher so use half.
