Ingredients

Cold seedless watermelon cut into small cubes, about five hundred grams or eighteen ounces

Freshly squeezed lemon juice or lime juice, sixty milliliters or one quarter cup

Raw agave nectar, forty five milliliters or three tablespoons, optional and adjustable to taste

Coarse sea salt for glass rim garnish

Fresh lemon or lime wedges for garnish

Ice cubes made from filtered water

Instructions

Place the cold diced watermelon into a high speed blender and spread evenly for smooth blending

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice or lime juice, making sure no seeds are included

Add the raw agave nectar if using to balance the citrus flavor naturally

Blend everything on high speed until completely smooth and vibrant in color

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or citrus according to preference

Transfer the blended drink into a pitcher and refrigerate until well chilled

Pour coarse sea salt onto a small plate in an even layer

Rub a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of each serving glass to moisten it lightly

Dip the rim gently into the salt until evenly coated

Fill the prepared glasses with ice cubes

Pour the chilled watermelon lemonade over the ice slowly

Garnish with a fresh lemon or lime wedge and serve immediately

Notes

For a more tart flavor, reduce the amount of agave or omit it completely

Using very ripe watermelon enhances natural sweetness and reduces the need for added sweetener

Freshly squeezed citrus juice is essential for the best taste and aroma

The drink may separate slightly during storage, so stir gently before serving

Do not store with ice to avoid dilution and loss of flavor
