Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups chilled seedless watermelon, cut in cubes (about 1/2 of a medium watermelon)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh mint, packed
  • 3 cups cold water
  • lime wheels and fresh mint leaves for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place 4 cups of the cubed watermelon in a blender or food processor. Add the lime juice, sugar and mint, and purée until watermelon liquifies and space is created in the blender. Add the rest of the cubed watermelon and blend until smooth.
  • Strain the watermelon mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Discard the solids. Stir in cold water and chill in the fridge until cold.
  • Stir before serving in ice filled glasses. Garnish with lime wheels and fresh mint if desired.
