Watermelon Ginger Juice
Recipe type: Drinks
Serves: 10-15
 
Ingredients
  • 1 large seedless watermelon
  • 4-6 tablespoons ginger, grated
  • soda water (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cut watermelon into medium sized chunks. Transfer in batches to blender and puree with ginger.
  2. Pour liquid from blender to a pitcher through a fine mesh strainer to remove some of the pulp. Serve over ice.
  3. The juice is good and refreshing as is, but you can also add some soda water to add a little fizz to it. The ratio that we found worked well was ¾ juice to ¼ soda water, but it's really a personal preference.
