Watermelon cooler

Applies to: fresh watermelon blended and served chilled with no added sugar or water (seasonal).

1. Add the chilled watermelon cubes to the blender jar.
2. Watermelon is over 90% water, so no liquid is added — the fruit provides all the volume.
3. Blend on high just until fully liquefied and smooth.
4. Blend briefly — over-blending incorporates air and turns the juice foamy and pale.
5. Strain out seeds and coarse pulp if using a seeded variety or if a clearer drink is preferred.
6. Pour over ice into a chilled glass and serve immediately.
7. Serve at roughly 4–6°C; a squeeze of lime or a few mint leaves is an optional lift but adds no sugar.
