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.
