Have you ever made fresh-squeezed watermelon juice?

It’s a good alternative to a cocktail and the perfect summer drink, especially for the 4th of July! Read below on how to make some for yourself!
How To Make Fresh Watermelon Juice – Step By Step
- Dice a small watermelon into cubes
- In a food processor or blender, puree the watermelon until it’s a juice-like consistency. You want it to be thin enough to strain through a strainer, so blend for a while. You can also use a spoon to help push the juice through the strainer.
- Strain the juice into a bowl and pour into ice-filled glasses

Do you de-seed it first? Or just put seeds and flesh into the blender?
I used watermelon with seeds. No need to de-seed first because the strainer will catch them 😉
I MUST TRY THIS IMMEDIATELY!
Yum, yummmmm
