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

  1. 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.

  2. Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the watermelon cubes, raspberries, lime juice, and sweetener.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. Serve: Carefully pour the vibrant pink mixture into your sugar-rimmed glasses.

  6. Garnish: Top each drink with a fresh raspberry and a sprig of mint. Add a colorful striped straw, and you are ready to enjoy!
