Sparkling Watermelon Mimosas

June 30, 2017

Sparkling Watermelon Mimosa Herb Guru BrandHappy Friday!

I had a blast this morning with my friends on ABC’s Lowcountry Live talking Independence Day spread. We covered appetizers, entrees, desserts and of course, our drink for a festive toast.

Enter: Sparkling Watermelon Mimosas with a functional twist.

If you are like me, you are always finding new, innovative ways to use watermelon in the summer months. Watermelon is one of those quintessential summer fruits and one of the most water-rich, which comes in handy in the hot weather.

Last summer I made watermelon pops and this summer it’s all about the beverage. Watermelon and orange are a refreshing match with a kick of ginger for a touch of spice. 

These are made with a special ingredient – herbal tea from The Herb Guru.

All their teas have herbs that have been specifically added for their unique perceived benefits. I used the Immunity Blend which has hints of orange and ginger which complements the watermelon seamlessly. 


This Fourth of July, I will be heading north to one of my favorite cities on the east coast – New York City! You bet that these will be on the menu. 

If you make these, be sure to tag me on Instagram! I love seeing your creations. 

Check back later today for all my Independence Day tips I shared this morning on ABC’s Lowcountry Live for Good Food Friday.

1️⃣Keep a versatile heart-healthy cooking oil on hand like naturally cholesterol free @MazolaBrand: Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is important to heart health. Heart-Healthy* Mazola® Corn Oil, can help lower cholesterol more than extra virgin olive oil** and can make easy to make, meal prep recipes. 

2️⃣Replace salt with flavorful spices and herbs: One risk factor of heart disease is high blood pressure and one way to help control it is to cut back on sodium which is found mostly in processed and packaged foods as well as meals prepared outside the home. One easy way to cut back, is to cook more meals at home and flavor them with fresh herbs and spices.

3️⃣Focus on good fats: Eliminate trans fats and reduce saturated fats to help keep cholesterol levels in check. Trans fats are found in some packaged and fried foods as well as margarine. Saturated fats are found in red meat and high fat dairy. Opt for lean proteins like chicken and fish and low or nonfat dairy including yogurt and cheeses.
