Watermelon Juice Recipe
To make watermelon juice, cut seedless watermelon into chunks. Blend until smooth. Optional: strain for a smoother texture. Add lime juice, mint, or a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Serve chilled over ice. For sweetness, add honey or sugar. This refreshing summer drink hydrates and cools, perfect for hot days or as a party beverage.
Equipment
- Blender
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (optional)
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring spoons
- Pitcher or large bowl
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon freshly extracted ginger juice
- Sparkling water optional, to top off
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Step 1:
- Place the cubed watermelon in a blender. Add the fresh lime juice and ginger juice. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and juicy.
Step 2:
- For a smoother juice, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove pulp. This step is optional if you prefer a thicker juice.
Step 3:
- Pour the watermelon juice into glasses. Top off with a splash of chilled sparkling water if desired, and stir gently. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
Notes: Always use ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor. You can chill the watermelon cubes before blending to make the drink extra cold without ice. The ginger juice adds a light zing; reduce it if you want a milder flavor. Sparkling water gives a refreshing fizz, but plain water or ice can also be used.
