Do you ever come home after a long day and just want something special to drink? Sure, you could open a bottle of wine and pour yourself a glass but while I enjoy a drink from time to time, it’s not always what I’m in the mood for. Especially during these insanely hot summer days, I want something super refreshing and hydrating.
So what am I reaching for?
A homemade sparkling watermelon mocktail!
Even better, this cocktail couldn’t be any easier, more refreshing and just what I’m craving.
All you need to do is freeze some cubed watermelon and grab a bottle of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water. Put a few watermelon cubes in a glass and fill with the mineral water. It looks fancy, tastes amazing, and is the perfect after-work summer mocktail to enjoy on your porch or balcony.
While I have your attention, I wanted to make sure you know about a giveaway! Remember when I mentioned I’ll be participating in the Gerolsteiner #SparklingDetox? Well, we want you to join in too and because of this, Gerolsteiner is giving away a supply of water to 300 people just in time for the detox. If you want a chance to win, enter here!

Mmm, this sounds so cool and refreshing. I feel like watermelon doesn’t get enough attention in beverages. 🙂
This sounds delis! I’m with you, alcohol doesn’t always sound appealing! Especially after a long workout!

Oh yum! I bet pineapple would be good too!
That sounds easy and refreshing. I usually grab a glass of wine 🙂
Wine is good too! 😉
This brings together two of my favorite favorite things. Sparkling and watermelon. Whatever it says about me I cannot do the flat water. Ever 🙂

It means you sparkle! 😉
I love adding fresh fruit or veggies to my water. Have you tried adding a few slices of cucumber or any kind of berries, it’s so yummy and refreshing!
I also have to agree with Sarah, a hot cup of tea can be very refreshing as well and they say that if you drink warm beverages you are more likely to sweat less instead of when drinking something ice cold.
Yes! I love cucumber or berries in my water!
I love sparkling water with fruit. Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Honestly (don’t laugh) but a HUGE glass of ice water if it’s warm out or a nice mug of hot tea…both refresh and relax me at the same time!
