Description
A light, hydrating, and refreshing summer drink made with fresh watermelon, lime juice, and mint. Naturally sweet and bursting with cooling flavors, perfect for hot days or as a quick mocktail.
Ingredients
2 cups watermelon chunks and juice (about half of each; top off with water if needed)
1 lime, juiced
1 sprig fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Place watermelon, lime juice, and mint leaves in a blender.
- Blend until very smooth.
- Pour over ice and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
- For a slushy version, freeze the watermelon cubes ahead of time or blend with ice.
Notes
- Add a teaspoon of honey, sugar, or agave for extra sweetness.
- Blend frozen watermelon cubes instead of fresh for a frozen treat.
- Make it boozy by adding 2 ounces of vodka, rum, or gin for 2 strong drinks or 4 lighter ones.
- Add frozen berries for extra flavor and deeper color.
- A pinch of sea salt can enhance sweetness and add electrolytes.
