Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced into chunks
  • 10 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons natural lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chilled water

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon natural agave syrup or natural maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and slice the cucumber into small chunks. Cube the watermelon after removing the rind. Rinse fresh mint leaves and set aside a few for garnish.
  2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine watermelon cubes, cucumber chunks, fresh mint leaves, natural lemon juice, and a splash of chilled water. Blend until smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Adjust Sweetness and Texture: If desired, add a natural sweetener like agave syrup or maple syrup to balance the tartness. For a slightly thicker consistency, blend in a small amount of natural gelling agent until well incorporated.
  4. Chill and Serve: Pour the cooler into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or thin cucumber slices for a stunning presentation. Serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use ripe watermelon for the best flavor.
  • Pre-chill ingredients and glasses to maximize refreshment.
  • Muddle mint leaves lightly before blending to release more flavor.
  • Ensure natural gelling agent is well dissolved to maintain smooth texture.
  • Taste before adding sweetener since watermelon sweetness varies.
