Watermelon juice is cool, sweet, and easy to make. You only need ripe melon and a blender.

Serve it plain or add lime, mint, or a little heat. Cold melon gives the best taste.

Start with ripe fruit. You can also shop our watermelon selection for fresh melons.

Easy Watermelon Juice

You need:

• 4 cups cold seedless watermelon
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• A few mint leaves
• Honey or agave, if needed
• Ice

Put the melon in a blender. Add lime and mint if you want them. Blend until smooth. Taste it. Add a little honey only if the melon needs it. Strain the juice if you like it smooth. Pour over ice and serve.

Spicy Watermelon Juice

Use 4 cups cold watermelon, lime juice, and a small piece of jalapeño. Add a little honey if needed. Blend until smooth. Pour over ice. Add a light shake of chili powder or Tajín on top.

Start with a small piece of pepper. You can add more if you want more heat.

Tropical Watermelon Juice

Blend 3 cups watermelon with 1/2 cup pineapple and 1/2 cup coconut water or mango juice. Add lime juice. Taste it before you add honey.

Use frozen fruit if you want a thick, slushy drink.

Simple Tips

• Keep the melon cold before you blend it.
• Freeze extra melon cubes for later.
• Add lime a little at a time.
• Serve the juice soon after you make it.
