About The Recipe
The inspiration behind this drink was definitely summer! One of my favorite things about summer is fresh watermelon. I have been known to eat half of a small watermelon all by myself with a spoon.
Regrets? None.
This drink is the perfect tribute to summer because it’s made with fresh watermelon juice!
Oh, and it’s also a tribute to childhood. The added lime juice and jalapeño make this delicious drink taste just like a watermelon jolly rancher!
It’s seriously so good and refreshing.
