Ingredients
-
4 cups Fresh watermelon (cubed and seeds removed)
-
1 cup Fresh or frozen raspberries
-
1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
-
1 handful Fresh mint leaves
-
1-2 tablespoons Honey or agave nectar (optional, based on fruit sweetness)
-
1 cup Ice cubes
-
For the rim: Granulated sugar and a lime wedge
-
Garnish: Whole raspberries and extra mint sprigs
Instructions
-
Prepare the Glass: Take a chilled glass and rub a lime wedge around the rim. Dip the rim into a small plate of granulated sugar to create that beautiful frosted look seen in your photo. Set the glasses aside.
-
Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the watermelon cubes, raspberries, lime juice, and sweetener.
-
Add Flavor and Texture: Toss in the fresh mint leaves and the ice. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of cold water or coconut water.
-
Strain (Optional): If you want a perfectly smooth drink without raspberry seeds, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. If you like the textured, “smoothie” look from the image, skip this step!
-
Serve: Carefully pour the vibrant pink mixture into your sugar-rimmed glasses.
-
Garnish: Top each drink with a fresh raspberry and a sprig of mint. Add a colorful striped straw, and you are ready to enjoy!
