Instructions

Blender (Psst … here’s our essential guide to buying a blender.)
Step 1: Blend It
Add the diced watermelon and water to your blender and puree until smooth. Add more water if you prefer a smoother consistency. Alternately, if you like a more slushie-like texture, add in some ice.

Step 2: Flavor It
Depending on the sweetness of your watermelon, you can sweeten with simple syrup or sugar. (Learn how to make simple syrup here.) You can also give your drink a tart, refreshing squeeze of lime juice.

Make the Drink Your Own
Once you’ve got the basic watermelon juice recipe down, it’s time to get clever. Add fresh mint, fruit juice or even coconut milk! One of our favorite summer refreshments is this watermelon cooler made with lemonade.
