Expert Suggestions That I Endorse

• I select my watermelon depending on the flavor I desire for my drink. For a tart taste, I opt for unripe watermelon; if I prefer it sweeter, ripe watermelon is my choice.
• When I began making this recipe, I realized that the ice cubes diluted the drink. To combat this, larger ice chunks are preferable as they melt more slowly. I also make the drink stronger to mitigate dilution.
• For optimal flavor, refrigerate the drink for 2 hours. This allows the flavors to blend better.
• To achieve accurate measurements, I taste a small sample and make adjustments as needed.
• I always choose fresh ingredients, steering clear of bottled lime or watermelon juice.
• For a kick of spiciness, consider adding sliced jalapeños.
• To ensure my drinks are completely smooth, I strain the mixture using a fine mesh or sieve.
