Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using seedless watermelon for this drink because it makes blending so much easier. If you can’t find cantaloupe, honeydew works just as well! And don’t skip the mint—it’s what really elevates this drink and gives it that fresh kick.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my mint in a cup of water in the fridge; it stays fresh for days and I can just snip off what I need.
- •For a fun twist, try adding a splash of coconut water for extra hydration!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of fresh ginger juice for a zesty kick.
- •If I'm in the mood for something extra indulgent, I blend in a banana for creaminess.
Storage & Freezing
This refresher is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in the fridge in a sealed container. Just give it a good stir before serving again, as the ingredients may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit?
Absolutely! Frozen watermelon or cantaloupe will work great. Just keep in mind that it may make the drink a bit thicker, like a smoothie.
