Notes
Use fully ripe watermelon for the sweetest and juiciest flavor. Adjust the amount of honey according to your taste preference or omit it entirely if the watermelon is naturally sweet enough. Coconut water enhances hydration and adds a light tropical flavor, but plain water or sparkling water also work well. For a more cooling effect, refrigerate all ingredients before blending.
