Servings: 5 glasses
Calories: 52kcal
Ingredients
- 450 gr watermelon
- 100 gr pineapple
- 1 lime
- 1 tbsp simple syrup optional
- 1 stalk mint leaves
Instructions
- Add the watermelon pieces to a blender and remove any visible seeds if needed. Add the pineapple pieces, mint leaves, and lime juice. If you want a sweeter drink, you can also add a little simple syrup.
- Blend until the fruit is completely smooth and well combined. Pour the juice through a fine-mesh strainer for a smoother texture. Serve chilled or over ice.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet watermelon. Since the fruit provides most of the sweetness, a ripe watermelon will give you the best flavor without needing much, or any, simple syrup.
- Start with a small amount of mint. Mint can become quite strong once blended, so add a little first and increase it only if you want a more pronounced mint flavor.
- Adjust the lime juice to taste. If you like a brighter, tangier drink, add a little more lime juice after blending.
- Add simple syrup only if needed. Taste the juice first. If the watermelon and pineapple are already sweet, you may not need any extra sweetener at all.
- Strain for a smoother drink. A fine-mesh strainer removes excess pulp and gives the juice a lighter, cleaner texture.
- Serve it very cold. This watermelon juice tastes best chilled or poured over ice, especially on a hot day.
