Watermelon Sparkling Spritz
Approximate calorie count: 110 caloriesThe secret to this drink is to get the natural sugars out of the watermelon juice, says Roxanne. The riper, the better. "Watermelon juice is rich in nutrients and is a perfect option for fasting, cleansing and dieting and contains a great dose of electrolytes per serving," she says. Champagne is a low-calorie beverage, due to its production process where most of the natural sugars are removed and no additional flavouring is added.
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 20 ml Vodka (the more distilled the vodka, the less impurities)
- 60 ml Fresh-pressed watermelon juice
- 80 ml Sparkling brut wine (opt for a light sparkling wine to reduce the calorie count even further)
Instructions
- Pick an almost over-ripe watermelon, then cut it into chunks to fill one cup.
- Put into a blender and add about a 1/2 cup of water. Flash blend the mixture, and strain out the pulp and the pips.
- Next, take your Champagne glass out of the fridge and add the vodka and watermelon juice together.
- Top up with Champagne.
