Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by selecting a ripe watermelon for maximum sweetness. Dice it into small cubes, removing any seeds to ensure a smooth juice.
- Rinse the raspberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. If you’re using frozen raspberries, let them thaw slightly for easier blending.
Blend the Juice:
- Add the diced watermelon, raspberries, and lemon juice to a blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and vibrant.
Strain juice (Optional):
- For a smoother texture, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
- Skip this step if you prefer a thicker, fiber-rich juice.
Sweeten (Optional):
- Taste it and add honey or agave syrup if additional sweetness is desired. Blend again to mix.
Serve juice:
- Pour this into chilled glasses. For an added refreshing touch, serve over ice cubes.
- Garnish with a fresh raspberry, a small watermelon wedge, or a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
Serving Tip 💡:
For a tropical twist, add a few mint leaves while blending. This fluid also pairs wonderfully with light snacks.
