  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Blender

  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth but still slightly grainy from the seeds, about 30 seconds. Listen for a consistent blending sound and observe the mixture becoming uniformly red.
  4. Pour the blended watermelon liquid through a fine mesh sieve into glasses to remove large seed fragments and achieve a smoother texture, pressing gently with a spoon to extract maximum liquid.
  5. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, optionally garnished with lime wedges or mint leaves. The drink should be vibrant red with a lightly grainy texture from the seeds.
