Watermelon Mojito: Your next summer refresher 🍉

Here’s what you’ll need to make this fruity, fizzy summer refresher.

Watermelon Mojito Ingredients

  • 1 shot of rum
  • 1/2 shot (or less!) of simple syrup
  • 1/2 shot of lime juice
  • 2–3 small slices of watermelon
  • Crushed ice
  • Mint — to muddle and for garnish
  • Bevi’s Sparkling Watermelon Water

No blender? No problem. Just mash the watermelon with a fork for a more textured drink.

The afternoon pick-me-up: basil-infused watermelon agua fresca 🌿

Don’t let the 3pm blues get you down: give your tastebuds — and your productivity — a healthy wake-up call with a simple basil infusion! The recipe is as easy as it is hydrating— and it feels like a spa day in a bottle.

Basil-infused watermelon agua-fresca

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. Shred or lightly mash fresh basil leaves (mint also works!).
  2. Add basil to a reusable bottle.
  3. Fill with Bevi’s still or Sparkling Watermelon Water.
  4. Let it steep for 30-60 minutes. If using sparkling water, sip it fresh for max fizz.

Looking to level up the flavor? Drop in a few frozen berries, like strawberries or blueberries, for a blueberry summer fusion or a strawberry-lemon soda vibe.

Like Bevi’s zero-calorie flavors, infusions are a simple, refreshing way to motivate yourself to stay hydrated throughout the day. With a combo this mouthwatering, you won’t even realize you’re crushing your hydration goals.

Let’s get tropical! Watermelon-coconut still water🥥

For this tropical summer drink, you won’t need any additional ingredients. Simply grab your reusable bottle, head over to the office Bevi, and you’ll be transported straight to a sandy beach in Florida Keys!

Here’s the quick-and-easy recipe:

  1. Fill half of your reusable bottle with Bevi’s Still Coconut Water.
  2. Fill the remainder of your bottle with Bevi’s Still Watermelon Water.

Like Watermelon, Bevi’s Coconut flavor is the perfect addition to any tropical spritzer — alcoholic or virgin.
