Instructions
Make Mint Simple Syrup
Heat sugar and water together in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves. Add half the mint leaves to the hot syrup, remove from heat, and steep for 10 minutes before straining and cooling.
Blend the Watermelon
Place seedless watermelon cubes into a blender and blend until completely liquefied and smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and ensure a perfectly smooth juice. You should have about 2 cups of liquid.
Muddle and Mix
Gently muddle the remaining mint leaves in the bottom of a large pitcher to release their oils. Add the watermelon juice, fresh lime juice, cooled mint simple syrup, and cold water then stir well to combine everything.
Serve Immediately
Pour over glasses packed with ice and garnish with a small watermelon wedge and a fresh mint sprig. This limeade is best served immediately as watermelon juice can settle and separate over time.
