Refreshing and cool watermelon juice with a splash of lime is the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer day.
To make the watermelon juice, I first cut them into chunks and leave them in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours before blending. This keeps the juice cool without having to add too much ice. I added just a spoonful of homemade simple syrup, but you can totally skip it if your watermelon is sweet enough. To bring out the flavor of the juice, I love squeezing in a splash of fresh lime juice. It is so simple yet such a refreshing and delicious way to beat the heat on a warm summer day.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups watermelon (chopped)
¼ lime (squeeze, save Juice)
1 Tbsp simple syrup (See Notes)
1 slice lime (for garnish, optional)
Mint leaves (for garnish optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Cut the watermelon into chunks removing the rind and seeds. Place the chunks into a bowl and let them cool in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
3. In a blender, combine watermelon, lime juice, and simple syrup and puree.
4. Pour into the glass and garnish with a slice of lime and mint leaves (optional). Chill before serving if you like.
