Watermelon Juice Recipe

What does summer mean to you - summer sports games, traveling, reading? If you want to make something summer refreshing that is unusual and easy, make watermelon juice.

A popular offering in Brazil along beaches, watermelon juice is an easy and fun way to enjoy a naturally-sweet refreshing summer drink.

To make, remove the watermelon pulp in easy to manage sizes. I use a melon baller to core my watermelons, that gives me the option to easily add other fruits for a quick fruit salad as well as make watermelon juice.

Don’t forget to taste test your watermelon, you want something that has a nice flavor to it and you can better decide what else to add.

Once cored, place the watermelon pieces in a blender. If your watermelon is too sweet, add a dash of lemon juice.

If you like to eat your watermelon with salt, add a dash of salt.

If you want a cold watermelon juice, add ice.

Blend.

The shredded watermelon pulp will rise to the top but not have any body to it. It will give the watermelon juice drink a frothy top and a clear juice bottom.
