Begin by preparing the watermelon. Remove the rind and seeds and cut the watermelon into small, manageable chunks until you have 4 cups worth.
Place the watermelon chunks into a blender, ensuring the blender can handle the amount, requiring you to blend in batches if necessary.
Add 1 cup of coconut milk into the blender with the watermelon chunks. The coconut milk should be well stirred or shaken from the carton or can to ensure consistency.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes into the blender with the watermelon and coconut milk for a chilled and thick shake.
Measure and add 2 tablespoons of honey to the mixture for a touch of sweetness. Adjust to taste if desired.
Pluck 6 fresh mint leaves, rinse them, and add them to the blender for a refreshing hint of flavor.
Squeeze the juice of about half a lime into the blender, equaling about 2 tablespoons, for a subtle tangy compliment to the sweetness.
Securely place the lid on the blender. Start blending on low to combine the ingredients, then gradually move to a higher speed. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Stop blending and taste the shake. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or lime juice if desired.
Once satisfied with the flavor and consistency, pour the shake into two tall glasses, garnish with a mint leaf if desired, and serve immediately to ensure freshness and maximum refreshment.
