Preparación

1. 1

   Cut the watermelon into pieces and remove the seeds. Put the pieces in a blender and blend until smooth.Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher so you end up with a clear, smooth juice without fibres.Squeeze the limes and add the juice to the pitcher with the watermelon juice. Stir well.Add a generous handful of fresh mint leaves to the pitcher and let the mixture infuse for 10 minutes for more flavour.Fill each highball glass halfway with ice cubes.Pour the watermelon-lime mixture about one third into each glass.Top up the glass with prosecco (or sparkling water for an alcohol-free version). Stir gently so the bubbles are preserved.Garnish each glass with a lime wheel, a sprig of fresh mint and optionally a small piece of watermelon on the rim. Serve immediately.
