Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups frozen watermelon chunks (about 1/2 small seedless watermelon)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
  • 1 cup cold water or coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup ice cubes (optional, if watermelon isn't frozen)
  • Fresh basil sprigs and lime wheels, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Add frozen watermelon, basil leaves, water (or coconut water), lime juice, maple syrup, and sea salt to a high-speed blender.
  2. If using unfrozen watermelon, add ice cubes now. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and slushy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup or tartness with extra lime juice. Blend again for 5 seconds if needed.
  4. Pour into 2 tall glasses and garnish with fresh basil sprigs and lime wheels. Serve immediately with a wide straw.
