Watermelon Mint Limeade Cooler

On hot days, I like to enjoy a refreshing drink. Water is great, but sometimes it’s nice to have something with more flavor. The combination of watermelon, lime, honey and mint is the perfect mix of sweet and sour and you can adjust the amounts of each to give your recipe a little more of each, depending on your preferences. I like mine a little more sour, so will add extra lime juice. You can use spearmint, peppermint or pennyroyal for differing flavors.
