A thirst-quenching summer drink with natural electrolytes to boot!
ingredients
watermelon, cubed + seeds removed
1¼ cup fresh lime juice
½ cup fresh mint leaves, packed
1 Tbsp honey, agave or maple syrup (optional)
dash of soda water, optional
ice for glasses
method
To a blender, add the chopped watermelon, freshly squeezed lime juice, and your sweetener of choice.
Blend on high until a juice forms and no large chunks remain.
Next, place a small strainer over a large measuring cup or bowl and pour the watermelon juice through the strainer. This will remove any large bits of pulp.
Muddle the fresh mint at the bottom of a glass. Place some ice in a glass and pour the watermelon juice over top until ¾ of the way full.
Finish with soda water and add a lime wedge and fresh mint sprig for garnish.
Get fancy and add a salt + sugar rim.
Enjoy!
