Equipment

  • Blender
  • Strainer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Large Pitcher

Ingredients

  • 8-10 cups seedless watermelon chunks
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • water as needed
  • simple syrup optional

Instructions

  • In batches, add watermelon to a blender and run until smooth.
  • Strain into a large pitcher. Alternatively, strain into large spouted measuring cup first, then strain a second time directly into your serving pitcher.
  • Depending on the natural sweetness of your watermelon add any water needed. Then add lemon and lime juice and stir well with big spoon.
  • Taste and add simple syrup (or granulated sugar) if desired. Stir again.
  • Serve immediately into a glass full of ice or store in the fridge until needed.

Notes

  • While it is optional, we recommend double straining for an extra smooth texture.
  • The juicier and sweeter the watermelon, the better the flavor.
  • Watermelons can vary in their sweetness, so you may not need added sugar.
  • Cold watermelon blends into an instantly refreshing drink; chop your watermelon and place it in the fridge first if you have extra time.
  • The lime juice and lemon juice add depth and balance.
