The Best Thirst Quenchers Watermelon Punch

This simple and refreshing watermelon punch recipe is ideal for the summer. Made with simple ingredients, this is sure to cool you down! A refreshing drink made with fresh watermelon, raspberry lemonade, and Sprite.

It is ideal for entertaining, brunch, picnics, or BBQ parties, and it is extremely hydrating! This fizzy summer drink is kid-friendly; I made it a few years ago and it was a hit with my family.

TIPS FOR SELECTING THE PERFECT WATERMELON

• Watermelon should sound hollow when you knock.
• Watermelon should be heavy for its size.
• Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it’s ripe.

How Is A Watermelon Punch Made?

• Slice the watermelon and remove the seeds and rind
• Place the melon pieces in a blender along with a few mint leaves
• Add freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Blend until it’s smooth and no chunks remain.

BENEFITS OF WATERMELON

Watermelon is very healthy and one of the most hydrating foods. It has up to 92% moisture content and is one of the best thirst quenchers.

• Good source of vitamins A and C
• Improve heart health
• Great for skin and hair
• Helps to lower the inflammation
