Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon and 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves into a blender. Blend on high speed for 1 minute until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pour the watermelon-mint puree through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove pulp, pressing gently with a spoon to extract juice.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 cup cold water to the strained juice. Stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
  4. Step 4: Fill glasses with 1 cup ice cubes and pour the cooler over the ice. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
