This blended drink is the definition of warm-weather refreshment — cool, lightly sweet, and bright with fresh lime and mint in every sip. Watermelon and cucumber are blended together until completely smooth, then strained through a fine-mesh sieve so you're left with a silky, jewel-toned liquid that looks as good as it tastes. A touch of honey and a pinch of sea salt round out the flavor in a way that feels surprisingly sophisticated for something so simple to make. The whole thing comes together in a blender with real, whole ingredients — no syrups, no artificial flavors, nothing to second-guess. You can dial the sweetness and tartness to your own taste before chilling it down, which means it's easy to get exactly the balance you're after. Poured over ice with a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime, it's the kind of drink that disappears fast at a backyard gathering or a lazy afternoon lunch.

Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer in batches, pressing gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
