Watermelon Ginger Lime Cooler

Ingredients:

• 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)

   • Place the cubed watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
2. Strain the Juice:

3. Add Ginger and Lime:
   • Stir in the grated ginger and fresh lime juice. Adjust the amount of ginger based on your preference for spiciness.
4. Sweeten (Optional):
   • If you prefer a sweeter drink, add honey or agave syrup to taste. Stir until fully dissolved.
5. Add Water:
   • Pour in the cold water or sparkling water and stir to combine. If you want a fizzier drink, use sparkling water.
6. Serve:
   • Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the watermelon ginger lime cooler over the ice. Garnish with lime slices and mint leaves if desired.
