Recipe Yield: 3–4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 cups watermelon, cubed and chilled
2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
6–8 fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp honey (optional, adjust to taste)
1 cup cold water
1 cup ice cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Blend the base:
Add chilled watermelon cubes, cold water, lime juice, honey (if using), and fresh mint leaves to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

2. Strain and refine:
Pour the blended juice through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove pulp for a silky-smooth texture. This step is optional if you like it pulpy.

3. Chill and serve:
Stir in ice cubes, taste, and adjust sweetness with a little more honey or lime if needed. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint or a thin lime wheel.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Choose Ripe Watermelon: Always use sweet, seedless watermelon for the freshest, naturally sweet flavor.
• Fresh Mint Matters: Bruise the mint leaves slightly before blending to release more flavor.
• Serve Extra Cold: For a refreshing summer drink, chill your watermelon cubes in the fridge for a few hours before blending.
