Don’t you just love the sound of ice clinking in a frosty glass of something delicious.
That something delicious could be this watermelon, lime and mint cooler. It’s refreshing and sweet with a zingy minty kick at the end.
We strain our watermelon pulp which gives a much cleaner tasting drink. If you can’t be bothered or don’t mind some texture you can skip this step. Also the amounts are quite loose and you can play around with adding more or less of each ingredient to your taste.
You can also try adding a splash of ginger ale or sparkling water when you serve it if you feel like a few bubbles.
INGREDIENTS:
About 5 cups of cubed watermelon
Juice of two limes or more!
Handful of mint leaves
METHOD:
In a blender blitz the watermelon until it’s all liquid with no lumps.
Strain it through a nut milk bag or fine strainer.
Put the strained juice back in the blender and add the lime juice.
Blend and adjust to taste.
To serve. Muddle a few mint leaves and a lime wedge in the bottom of a tall glass. Add plenty of ice cubes.
Pour over watermelon juice. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
Sip and enjoy.
If watermelon isn’t in season you can use Coco Coast 100% watermelon water. It is consistently sweet and delicious.
