Note
- Watermelon Selection: Choose a ripe and sweet watermelon for the best flavor. A ripe watermelon will have a uniform shape, a creamy yellow spot where it sat on the ground, and a deep hollow sound when tapped.
- Basil Alternatives: If basil is not available, mint or even cilantro can be used for a unique twist.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Taste your watermelon first. If it's naturally very sweet, you might not need any additional sweetener. Adjust honey or agave syrup accordingly.
- Serving Suggestions: This drink pairs well with light summer salads, grilled vegetables, or as a refreshing companion to a barbecue spread.
- Storage: For best results, serve immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving again.
