Watermelon Refresher Recipe
This Watermelon Refresher only needs 3 ingredients and it takes less than 5 minutes to make. You can enjoy it as a delicious and nutritious drink that is full of vitamin C and no added sweeteners that is good enough to punch this summer heat in the face!
Equipment
1 blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 8 cups watermelon slices
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1-2 tablespoons lime juice
- 6 leaves mint
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients. Slice up your seedless watermelon (little white seeds will blend up fine) into small cubes.
- Blend. Transfer them into a blender or food processor and blend quickly until they become puree. Be sure there are no chunks left.
- Strain. If you prefer a totally smooth, thinner drink, pour the watermelon juice mixture through a fine mesh sieve to strain out any excess pulp.
- Chill. Add mints to infuse, refrigerate to chill, and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Notes
- Make it Sweeter: Add more orange juice, stevia, or maple syrup. Start with a small amount and add more according to your desired sweetness.
- Make it an alcoholic drink: Adding tequila or vodka can make this a boost drink. I love this drink during the afternoon to relax.
- Frosty - You can use frozen watermelon to make this a slushy watermelon drink. You may want to let the frozen watermelon leave at room temperature for a few minutes before blending.
- Add fruits - Add strawberries, apples, or pineapple to make this a healthier drink.
- Storage - Store your watermelon refresher in a mason jar or any glass with a lid in the refrigerator for a week. You can also freeze it for a long time. To thaw, move it to the refrigerator the night before or leave it on the countertop for a few hours until it turns back to liquid. Enjoy!
