Few drinks capture the feeling of a hot afternoon quite like a cold glass of this blended watermelon refresher. Fresh mint, bright lime juice, a touch of honey, and a pinch of sea salt come together with ripe watermelon to create something that tastes far more special than the effort involved. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, jewel-colored drink that's light and clean on the palate — nothing heavy, nothing murky. Because the ingredient list is built entirely from whole fruits, fresh herbs, and pantry staples, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives that can sneak into packaged beverages. The honey rounds out the tartness of the lime without making things cloying, and the pinch of salt is the quiet secret that makes every sip pop. Serve it over plenty of ice with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge for a presentation that looks effortlessly impressive at any gathering.
