Made with freshly squeezed lemon and mint leaves, this easy watermelon juice just requires a blender! Nothing screams summer more than this refreshing watermelon treat.
There are moments in life when I wish everything would freeze for a second, because life can get so busy and hectic sometimes, and before I know it, another week or year has passed. The last few months have been very busy and I desperately needed a break.
So a few weeks ago our family decided to do some nature exploring and visiting friends in Michigan. It was absolutely amazing. We spent most of our time at the beach or in the sun.
While on vacation, I enjoyed drinking watermelon juice, and I’ve been making that juice almost every single day since then. The flavors of watermelon, lemon, and mint are so simple, yet refreshing, and I can’t get enough of it. This recipe includes a mocktail and cocktail version that’s super easy either way you like it.
