Honeydew, Cucumber, and Mint Soda image

Spa water-aka water infused with cucumber and mint-gets a bit of natural sweetness from ripe honeydew melon. The salt in the drink helps with rehydration, while lime juice and club soda balance it out.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (2½-pound) honeydew, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
2 medium Persian cucumbers or 1 English hothouse cucumber, peeled, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup (packed) mint leaves, plus more for serving
Pinch of kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Club soda (for serving)

Steps:

  • Purée honeydew, cucumbers, mint, and salt in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl (do not press on solids, which would make mixture cloudy). Stir in lime juice and chill 1 hour.
  • Divide honeydew purée among ice-filled glasses. Top off with club soda and garnish with mint sprigs.
  • Honeydew purée can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
