Ingredients
  

Main Drink
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon seedless and ripe
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice or lemon juice as substitute
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup optional, adjust to taste
  • 2 to 4 cups cold water or sparkling water to achieve desired consistency
  • fresh mint for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • fine mesh sieve
  • Pitcher

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by cutting one seedless watermelon into manageable pieces, removing any seeds, aiming for approximately 4 cups of cubed watermelon.
  2. In a high-speed blender, add the watermelon cubes and blend on high until you achieve a smooth puree, about 30 seconds.
  3. For an ultra-smooth Watermelon Limeade, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve over a bowl, discarding any pulp.
  4. In the blender, add fresh lime juice and sweetener, then blend for about 15 seconds until well combined.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher, stirring in 2 to 4 cups of cold water or sparkling water.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Watermelon Limeade over the top, garnish with mint or a lime wedge.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Freeze for up to 3 months as ice cubes for a quick treat.
