🛒 Ingredients

✓ 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed (about 1 lb)
✓ 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
✓ 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol)
✓ 1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tbsp)
✓ 1/2 tsp Tajin seasoning (plus extra for rim)
✓ 6-8 ice cubes
✓ 2 cups cold filtered water or sparkling water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Watermelon: Cut fresh watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing as many seeds as possible. Measure 4 cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before blending.

2. Create the Tajin Rim: Mix 2 tbsp Tajin seasoning with 1 tbsp lime zest on a shallow plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each 12-16 oz glass, then dip the rim into the Tajin-lime mixture. Set glasses aside.

3. Blend the Base: Add chilled watermelon cubes, 1 cup coconut water, 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener, and 1/2 tsp Tajin to a high-powered blender. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.

4. Strain for Clarity (Optional): For a silky texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing gently with the back of a spoon. This removes pulp while keeping all nutrients.

5. Adjust Seasoning and Sweetness: Taste the mixture. Add lime juice (about 1 tbsp) and additional monk fruit sweetener if needed. The balance should be spicy-tart-sweet, not cloying.

6. Assemble the Drinks: Fill each rimmed glass with 4-5 ice cubes. Pour the watermelon mixture evenly between both glasses (about 1 cup each), then top with 1 cup cold water or sparkling water per glass.

7. Garnish and Serve: Stir gently to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, cilantro leaf, or lime wheel balanced on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw.
