Instructions

Place the watermelon cubes in a large shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sparkling juice and fresh lime juice.
Pour the citrusy mixture over the watermelon and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Before serving, sprinkle with lime zest and a pinch of coarse sea salt.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve chilled with toothpicks.

Notes

Use seedless watermelon for convenience.

Try substituting lemon or orange juice for a different citrus flavor.

For an adult twist, replace sparkling juice with Prosecco.

Sprinkle chili powder or Tajín for a spicy variation.

Add crumbled feta or cotija cheese for a savory twist.
