Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon cubes (seedless)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 0.5 cup Cucumber (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish, optional)
- 4 sprigs Mint sprigs (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes, pineapple chunks, cucumber slices, and fresh lemon juice.
Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, add honey to sweeten. Blend again to incorporate.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp (optional for a smoother drink).
Add the fresh mint leaves to the pitcher and lightly muddle them using the back of a spoon to release their flavor.
Stir in the cold water and mix well to dilute the mixture slightly.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Super Summer Drink into each glass.
Garnish with a lemon slice and a mint sprig on each glass if desired and serve immediately.
