Watermelon Lime Drink

Sep 2, 2024

Makes 15 servings

The secret ingredient in this refreshingly sweet beverage is the earthy and peppery sage. If you’re new to using agave nectar as a sweetener you are in for a surprise, as it’s not only plant-based, it’s also low on the glycemic index and won’t spike your blood sugar.

 

INGREDIENTS

10 cups watermelon, cubed
1 cup cold water
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup sage leaves, packed
2 limes, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon agave nectar

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the watermelon to a blender in batches and process until liquefied.
2. Pour the watermelon liquid through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large bowl and strain until only the pulp remains.
3. Transfer the strained juice to a pitcher, stirring in the water and lime juice, and refrigerate.
4. Muddle the sage, lime wedges, and agave nectar in a small bowl, until fragrant.
5. To serve, put a teaspoon of the muddled mixture in tall glasses, add ice if desired, and pour in the watermelon juice. Stir to combine. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
