Watermelon Spritzer, Part II

I made another tasty watermelon drink with some of the same ingredients I used for the white wine spritzer the other day, but this time, no wine.

I put a few watermelon ice cubes in a glass and sprinkled on a few mint leaves that I had just bruised, by squishing them in my fingers to release some oils and flavor.  Over that I poured about an eighth of a cup of still-warm simple syrup, to start melting the watermelon juice from the cubes and to release more mint flavor.  Then I just filled the glass with club soda. 

It was almost like a watermelon mint julep, without the alcohol, of course.  Actually super tasty.  I'm having fun with this watermelon ice cube thing!

Happy eating!
