Ingredients
  

1 small seedless watermelon, cut into rounds

1 cup mint leaves, tightly packed

2 limes, juiced

2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey (optional)

4 cups sparkling water

1 cup coconut water

1 cup light cranberry juice

Pinch of sea salt

12 small slider buns (mini brioche or whole wheat)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Rounds: Using a cookie cutter or a knife, shape the watermelon into small rounds that fit the slider buns. If needed, you can also cut out star or heart shapes for extra fun.

    Make the Mint Lime Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mint leaves, lime juice, and agave syrup or honey. Muddle gently with the back of a spoon to release the mint oils. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

      Create the Fizz Base: Strain the mint lime mixture into a large pitcher to remove the solids. Add the sparkling water, coconut water, cranberry juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the fizz remains.

        Assemble the Sliders: On each slider bun, layer a watermelon round, a slice of cucumber, and a sprinkle of feta cheese if using. Top with another bun to complete the slider.

          Serve the Mocktail and Sliders: Pour the refreshing Watermelon Fizz into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve alongside the sliders for a beautiful and tasty presentation.

            Enjoy: Gather friends or family and enjoy this unique combination of sweet and savory flavors as a delightful appetizer or afternoon treat!
