¹⁄₄ cup lime juice

2 cups ice cubes

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Start by cubing your watermelon, ensuring it’s sweet and ripe. Remove any seeds if you’re using a seeded variety.
2. In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, freshly squeezed lime juice, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and the mixture resembles a slushy consistency, ensuring a refreshing texture.

4. Pour the blended watermelon mixture into the prepared glass, filling it generously.
5. Add a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color. If you want to elevate the flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black salt on top, providing a delightful contrast.
