Equipment

  • 1 Blender (food processor can also work)
  • 1 Fine Mesh Strainer
  • 1 Citrus Juicer
  • 1 Muddler (wooden spoon can also be used)
  • 1 Pitcher
  • 1 Measuring Cup
  • 1 Set of Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Cubed Seedless Watermelon
  • ½ cup Fresh Lime Juice (about 4–6 limes)
  • 2 tbsp Agave Syrup
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 3 cups Seltzer Water
  • Ice Cubes
  • 2 tsp Cannabis-Infused Simple Syrup (adjust dosage as desired)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Watermelon Juice
    In a blender, purée the 6 cups Cubed Seedless Watermelon until smooth. Strain the purée through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove pulp.
  • Muddle the Mint
    In the pitcher, add 1/3 cup Fresh Mint Leaves and gently muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon to release their aroma.
  • Mix the Limeade
    Add ½ cup Fresh Lime Juice, 2 tsp Cannabis-Infused Simple Syrup, and 2 tbsp Agave Syrup to the pitcher. Stir to combine.
    Pour in the strained watermelon juice and mix well. Then add the 3 cups Seltzer Water, giving it one last good stir to evenly distribute the flavors.
  • Chill and Serve
    Add Ice Cubes to the pitcher to quickly chill the limeade. You can also refrigerate the limeade for later use.
    Once chilled, pour the watermelon limeade into glasses, garnish with lime wedges, watermelon slices, or mint sprigs, and enjoy. You could also rim glasses with tajín or chili-lime seasoning to elevate this summer mocktail even more.

Notes

Herbal Twist — Experiment with other herbs like basil or lavender instead of mint for a unique flavor profile.
Frozen Delight — Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 6–8 hours to create THC-infused popsicles.
Flavored Seltzers — Try adding flavored seltzers, like grapefruit or strawberry, to add another layer of flavor. 
Storage — Store any leftover watermelon limeade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
Embrace the mellow vibes and beat the heat with this delightful, cannabis-infused beverage. Whether you're lounging by the pool or hosting a summer soirée, this watermelon limeade is your ticket to relaxation and delicious hydration.
