Notes

  • Use seedless watermelon, or be sure to remove all seeds before blending.
  • Don't skip the step of straining your watermelon juice through the sieve. This will create a smooth juice without the pulp of the watermelon.
  • Reserve enough mint, lime, and watermelon that you have some leftover to garnish each drink.
