Method

Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon Puree

  1. Place the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp and seeds. Set aside the watermelon juice.

  1. In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the mint leaves and lime wedges.
  2. Add the granulated sugar.

  2. Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes.
