This sparkling watermelon electrolyte spritzer layers watermelon three ways: fresh muddled fruit at the bottom of the glass, a serving of Saltivate Watermelon for flavor and 800mg of sodium, and cold sparkling water for lift. The mix has zero sugar and no stevia, so the only sugars come from the fruit itself, and the muddled watermelon makes it taste fresh rather than candy flavored. Pour it on hot summer afternoons or serve it as the mocktail at a barbecue.
