Summer is here, so why not indulge in this thirst quenching watermelon drink?
Light, crisp and incredibly refreshing, this watermelon and lime quencher is the kind of drink you’ll want on repeat all summer long. Sweet, juicy watermelon does most of the work, while fresh lime adds a zesty lift that keeps it from being cloying. Served ice-cold, it’s the perfect thirst-quencher for hot afternoons, braais or lazy lunches on the patio. Plus…you get to eat the watermelon when it’s finished!
FOOD TEAM TIP: Use your favourite flavoured sparkling water for extra flavour. For a sweeter drink, use lime cordial instead of lime juice following the dilution guidelines on the packaging.
