Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed watermelon
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed or from watermelon)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the cubed watermelon, lime juice, honey, and water in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp and seeds, resulting in a smooth liquid.
- Add Lemon Juice: Stir the lemon juice into the strained watermelon mixture until fully incorporated, enhancing the tangy flavor of the cooler.
- Serve: Pour the cooler over ice in glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra watermelon slices for a visually appealing and refreshing presentation.
Notes
- For extra chill, refrigerate the cooler for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Adjust honey to taste depending on the sweetness of the watermelon.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice yields the best flavor but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
- This cooler is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
