Watermelon Cooler Recipe

Hot summer days are upon us and thirst-quenching drinks are called for. Why not enjoy a refreshing serving of watermelon cooler?

Ingredients:
4 cups of sliced seedless watermelon
1 cup of lemon sorbet
1 lemon, zested
1 1/2 cups of water

Directions:
Blend the sliced watermelon, lemon sorbet and zested lemon in a food processor until it is very smooth. Next, stir it with water and refrigerate until it is cold. And that’s it! Serve it with ice and add watermelon wedges or even mint as garnish, if you wish.

In case you don’t have lemon sorbet at hand, don’t panic. You can easily substitute it by making a mixture of: 6 lemons, 2 tablespoons of sugar and enough water for it to reach a cup.

Take care of the temperature, since it could change the flavor. For a tangy flavor, add grape or lime juice. Enjoy an easy-to-make summer drink!
