Ingredients:

  • 6 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Instructions:

  1. Place the chilled watermelon cubes into the blender. Pulse on high for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely liquefied.
  2. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into your pitcher, using a spoon to press the solids to extract every drop of juice.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the warm water and honey until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
  4. Pour the lemon syrup into the strained watermelon juice. Stir vigorously with a long spoon until the color is uniform and a bright, consistent pink.
  5. Taste and adjust—add a splash more lemon for more zing or a drizzle of honey if the watermelon isn't peak-season sweet.
