Few drinks capture the feeling of a hot summer afternoon quite like a tall glass of this blended watermelon refresher. The base is pure, ripe watermelon โ nothing artificial, nothing processed โ just fruit, water, a squeeze of fresh lime, and a pinch of salt to make the sweetness pop. That simplicity is exactly what makes it such a smart choice when you're avoiding commercial sweeteners: granulated sugar is the only sweetener here, so there's no hidden syrup lurking in the mix. Straining the blended fruit through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky-smooth, jewel-red drink that looks like something from a taqueria counter. A little salt might sound unexpected, but it rounds out the flavor in a way that makes every sip taste more intensely of watermelon. Serve it over ice with a wedge of lime on the rim and it's instantly the most refreshing thing on the table.

Add the watermelon cubes and cold water to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30โ45 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended watermelon through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp left in the strainer.
