Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Seedless watermelon
- 2 bottles (12 oz each) Lager beer or light beer
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lime slices
- 8 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the watermelon by removing the rind and cutting the flesh into small cubes, making sure to use a seedless variety.
2. Add 4 cups of diced watermelon to a blender, and blend until smooth. If desired, strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp. This step is optional depending on your texture preference.
3. In a large pitcher, combine the watermelon juice with the fresh lime juice and, if you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
4. Slowly pour the beer into the pitcher, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix to prevent excessive foam.
5. Add ice cubes to individual serving glasses, and pour the watermelon beer mixture over the ice.
6. Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a mint leaf for a refreshing touch.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, fruity beverage!
