Watermelon Mint Cooler Recipe | Healthy Summer Drink Idea

With the recent heat wave hitting up our area, I thought I’d share the recipe for that refreshing mocktail I made my family on the Fourth of July…my Watermelon Mint Cooler recipe!

This is so easy, you really don’t need a recipe. But, I wrote one up so you have the portions and all that fun stuff.

Hello, summer!

Watermelon Mint Cooler Recipe

This is by far one of the simplest, yet impressive looking summer drinks you could entertain with.

All you need are two key ingredients:

  • watermelon (seedless)
  • fresh mint

Watermelon Mint Cooler Recipe

I only used half a watermelon, since everyone in my family just wanted a small serving, but you could use a whole watermelon. Ours was about medium-sized.

Watermelon Mint Cooler Recipe

Just cut out the watermelon, blend (optionally with ice for a cooler effect), and add mint.

I just put a sprig of mint in the glass for garnish, but when I went to drink this, I actually ripped the leaf up, so I got some in the drink. The combination of watermelon and mint is one not to be missed! You can even blend some of the mint into the drink if you want.

Description

Watermelon and mint make for a particularly refreshing flavor combo best enjoyed on a hot summer day. Add some rum for an adult cocktail or serve it straight up as a mocktail for all to enjoy. You can use the mint just for garnish (as pictured in photos) or do like I did and rip (or cut) the leaves into small pieces that are added to the drink.
*Vegetarian*, *Vegan*


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 cups watermelon (seedless, removed from rind, cut into rough pieces, about 1 1/2″ squares), about half a medium watermelon
  • 1 cup ice, optional, but gives a nice coolness, so I do recommend it
  • fresh mint, optional for garnish
  • watermelon wedge, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place watermelon pieces in a blender and blend until smooth. Turn blender off.
  2. If using, add ice to blender and blend until smooth. Turn off and serve.
  3. Garnish with fresh mint and/or rip/cut small pieces of mint leaves into the drink. Cut a slit in a small watermelon wedge and place it on the top edge of the cup for a fun look.
  4. Serve and enjoy!
