Sips & Tips
Technique
Juice fresh watermelon in a blender and strain — it's mostly water so you get a lot of juice. The watermelon adds subtle sweetness without being heavy.
Balance
Watermelon and ginger are a surprisingly great pairing. The lime ties them together. Use a spicy ginger beer to contrast the watermelon's sweetness.
