"There's little room for disappointment when you blend watermelon with a sweetener, with the fruit's refreshing base adorning the remaining ingredient's saccharine depth. Honey is subtly floral and earthy in its nuances, whereas agave unfolds with molasses-driven notes and a smoky aftertaste. No matter what you use, they both enhance the watermelon's natural taste to perfection. It's not heavy or cloying like the juice you often find in store-bought bottles, but rather light and captivating in a way that gently soothes your taste buds."
"Juicy watermelons, in particular, are heavy and emit a bouncy, clear hollow sound when tapped. Choose ones that don't look too pristine, but rather marred with a yellow webbing and waxy skin - indicators of maturity. Sliced into medium-sized cubes, into the blender they go with a drizzle of sweetener. Finally, you can take the optional extra step of straining off the pulp and seeds for a smoother consistency."
Watermelon is approximately 92% water and makes a naturally refreshing, lightly sweet juice when blended with a small amount of honey or agave. Honey brings subtle floral and earthy notes while agave offers molasses-driven flavors and a smoky aftertaste. Choose a heavy, mature watermelon with yellow webbing and waxy skin; a bouncy, hollow sound indicates juiciness. Cube the flesh, blend with a drizzle of sweetener, and optionally strain out pulp and seeds for a smoother texture. For a slushy, add about a quarter cup of ice per cup of watermelon cubes, and finish with citrus if desired.
