This cooler relies on ripe watermelon blended smooth and strained, then poured over ice with a handful of muddled mint for a bright, herbal finish. It comes together in minutes with no added sugar needed, making it a light choice for hot afternoons or casual porch gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • 8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

Method

  1. Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker or sturdy glass and muddle gently for about 15 seconds to release their oils.

  2. Add the watermelon cubes to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.

  3. Pour the blended watermelon over the muddled mint and stir to combine.

  4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a glass filled with ice to remove pulp, if desired.

  5. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and serve immediately while cold.
