Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups diced, peeled ripe watermelon (seeds removed)

Instructions
- Place the cut watermelon in the blender along with sugar, water, and lime juice.
- Blend at high speed until smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Optional: Pour the drink through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove any pulp.
