Minted Watermelon Wave Recipe
On those blazing hot afternoons, nothing beats watermelon — except maybe blended watermelon with mint and lime over ice. That’s how this recipe was born! I made it with leftover fruit from a BBQ, and now it’s one of my favorite ways to stay hydrated. It’s light, super fresh, and makes water feel like a treat. My kids even call it “watermelon slushie juice” — and they’re not wrong!
