Watermelon Mint Cooler

Posted by Manjeri Skincare Team on

Benefits: Watermelon hydrates the skin with its high water content and soothes irritation, while mint adds a refreshing touch and calms redness.

Skin Concern: Dry or inflamed skin

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups watermelon (cubed)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 6-8 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup soda water
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Watermelon Juice: Blend the watermelon cubes until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove pulp if desired.
  2. Muddle Mint: In each glass, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their flavor. Add the lemon juice.
  3. Assemble the Cooler: Fill the glasses with ice, pour the watermelon juice over the mint mixture, and top with soda water.
  4. Finish and Serve: Stir gently and serve immediately for a refreshing hydrating drink.

Shopping Tips:

  • Watermelon: Choose a seedless watermelon with a hollow sound when tapped, indicating ripeness.
  • Mint: Look for fresh, fragrant mint leaves that are vibrant green and free of wilting.
  • Soda Water: Opt for plain, unsweetened soda water to keep the drink light and refreshing.

Cooking Tips:

  • Extra Zing: Add a dash of fresh ginger juice for a spicy twist that complements the sweetness of the watermelon.
  • Presentation: Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for a visually appealing touch.
  • Chill Ingredients: Use pre-chilled watermelon and soda water to make the drink extra refreshing.

This is a vibrant and revitalizing mocktail that hydrates your skin and refreshes your senses, perfect for hot summer days or post-workout relaxation!
