Ingredients
  

1 small seedless watermelon, cut into rounds

1 cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed

2 limes, juiced

2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)

4 cups sparkling water

1 cup coconut water

1 cup light cranberry juice

A pinch of sea salt

12 small slider buns (mini brioche or whole wheat recommended)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for a savory touch)

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Rounds: Begin by cutting the watermelon into rounds. Using a cookie cutter or knife, create small discs that will fit perfectly in your slider buns. For a playful twist, consider cutting out fun shapes like stars or hearts.

    Make the Mint Lime Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the tightly packed mint leaves with the freshly squeezed lime juice and your choice of agave syrup or honey for added sweetness. Using the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mixture to release the fragrant oils from the mint leaves. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

      Create the Fizz Base: After letting the mint and lime mixture sit, strain it into a large pitcher to remove any solids. To this vibrant mixture, pour in the sparkling water, coconut water, light cranberry juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to disturb the bubbles too much, so you maintain the refreshing fizz.

        Assemble the Sliders: For each slider bun, start by placing a watermelon round on the bottom half. Top it with a slice of cucumber, followed by a sprinkle of feta cheese if you desire that delicious salty contrast. Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the layered ingredients to complete your sliders.

          Serve the Mocktail and Sliders: Fill glasses with ice and pour the invigorating Watermelon Fizz mocktail over the ice. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch. Present the sliders alongside the mocktail for a visually appealing and appetizing experience.

            Enjoy: Invite friends or family to join you in enjoying this delightful blend of sweet watermelon, zesty lime, and savory feta. Perfect as a light appetizer or a fun afternoon treat!
