# Expert advice:

01 -
  • The watermelon creates this impossibly smooth, natural sweetness that feels like sunshine in a glass
  • You can whip these up in ten minutes flat, making them perfect for unexpected guests
  • No one will miss the alcohol, I promise, the flavors are that vibrant on their own
02 -
  • Watermelon sweetness varies wildly so always taste your blended mixture before serving, some need extra agave
  • Straining makes such a difference in texture, nobody wants pulp in their fancy mocktail
  • These do not sit well, the watermelon separates after about 20 minutes so blend and serve immediately
03 -
  • Roll your limes on the counter before juicing, you will get significantly more juice
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, these drinks taste better icy cold
