Ingredients

1 (6 pound) seedless watermelon
¼ cup lime juice
2 cups cold water
½ cup sugar
½ cup fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges and mint sprigs for garnish

Directions

Cut watermelon in half. Using a large spoon, scoop out and reserve the pink flesh (you will have about 8 cups). Discard rind.
Process the watermelon and lime juice in a blender (in batches if necessary) until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing with a spoon to release the juices. Discard solids.
Add water, sugar and lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into 4 ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lemon wedges and mint sprigs, if desired.

To make ahead

Cover and refrigerate juice (Steps 1-2) for up to 4 days. Stir before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
