Watermelon Juice Recipe
Refreshing, naturally sweet watermelon juice couldn’t be easier to make in a blender. Yield will vary based on the size of your watermelon, but my 6.5-pound watermelon yielded about 5 cups of juice.
Ingredients
- 1 small sweet watermelon (a 6 pounder will do)
- 1 small lime, juiced (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the watermelon in half. Using a big spoon, scoop chunks of sweet watermelon into the blender. Discard the rind.
- Blend the watermelon until it is totally pulverized. This shouldn’t take more than a minute. For extra flavor, squeeze the juice of one small lime into the blender and blend for a few seconds.
- If your watermelon is notably pulpy or seeded, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. If not, you can pour it directly into glasses filled with ice. Watermelon juice will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. The juice will separate over time; stir it with a spoon to recombine.
Notes
Watermelon selection: Your juice will only be as good as your watermelon, so find a good one at a farmer’s market or health store. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, round, dark and dull (versus shiny) with a yellow field spot.
Change it up: You can make cantaloupe juice using the same method! You can also turn your watermelon juice into popsicles by pouring the juice into a popsicle mold and freezing until solid. You might also like my melon cocktails—try the watermelon cucumber cooler or cantaloupe fiesta cocktail.
