5 refreshing watermelon drinks recipes
1. Watermelon lemonade
Hollow out a couple of stripy watermelons and use the juicy fruit inside to whip up a watermelon lemonade. Not only does it taste amazing, but it really looks the part. Turn it into a boozy adult version with a shot of tequila or white rum.
2. Watermelon daiquiri
No one could turn down this pale pink daiquiri. Blend together watermelon, white rum, lime juice and a dash of liqueur, then garnish with a wedge of fresh melon.
3. Watermelon & strawberry slushie
An icy slushie is the perfect family-friendly drink and you can whizz up a batch in a flash. Freezing chunks of watermelon prior to blending means you won't need any ice and your drink won't be diluted. Kids and adults alike will be coming back for another cup.
4. Watermelon smoothie
Smoothies aren't just for breakfast! Blend up this easy, dairy-free drink with bananas as the creamy base, adding sweet apple juice and juicy watermelon flesh. This 5-minute recipe is packed full of vitamin C and nutritional benefits.
5. Watermelon prosecco sorbet slushies
Believe it or not, prosecco and watermelon are a match made in heaven. These slushy cocktails are the ideal way to end a meal with friends or to enjoy during a summer garden party. The frozen, prosecco-soaked fruit add a boozy kick to your drink and means you won't need heaps of ice.
