A refreshing beverage, bursting with flavor and hydration, perfect for hot afternoons, backyard barbecues, or any summer gathering.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups Fresh Watermelon, diced (seedless is best)
1/4 cup Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
1/4 cup Mint Leaves, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons Agave Syrup or Honey (adjust to taste)
1 cup Cold Water (or sparkling water for a fizzy twist)
Ice Cubes (as needed for serving)
Instructions
Begin by slicing your watermelon in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and then cut it into small cubes, discarding the rind. You should have about 4 cups of diced watermelon.
In a blender, combine the diced watermelon, lime juice, mint leaves, and agave syrup or honey. If you want a sparkly drink, add the cold water here. Blend on high until smooth and fully incorporated, about 30-60 seconds.
For a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp. This is optional, depending on your preference for texture.
Taste the drink and adjust sweetness by adding more agave syrup or honey if desired. If it’s too thick, blend in extra cold water or ice.
Pour the Non-alcoholic Watermelon Drink into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint.
