•   2 1/2 cups coconut water
•   2 cups watermelon (chunks, seedless)
•   1 lime (juiced, or use half of a lime for softer flavor)
•   1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
•   2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

•   lime (wedge, for garnish)
•   small watermelon (wedge, for garnish)

Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender: 2½ cups coconut water, 2 cups seedless watermelon chunks, juice of 1 whole lime (or use half a lime peeled for a stronger lime flavor), ¼–½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup.
2. Blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds until completely smooth and the mixture is a **thick, opaque vibrant watermelon pink** color.
3. For a smoother drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining pulp (optional—watermelon blends very smoothly).
4. Pour over two glasses filled with ice.
5. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and a small wedge of watermelon on the rim.
6. Enjoy immediately—the taste of summer in a glass!
