Cashew Free Watermelon Lime Refresher
Few drinks capture the feeling of summer quite like a cold glass of watermelon juice, and this one takes things up a notch with bright lime and a subtle kick of fresh ginger. The honey adds just enough sweetness to round everything out without overpowering the natural fruitiness of the watermelon. Everything gets blended smooth and then strained through a fine-mesh sieve, so what ends up in your glass is silky, vibrant, and incredibly refreshing. Nuts of any kind have absolutely no place in this recipe — it's built entirely from fresh fruit, citrus, and pantry staples, so there's nothing to second-guess on the ingredient list. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel for a drink that looks as good as it tastes. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all season long.
