Notes
Choose the ripest watermelon: The riper the watermelon, the sweeter the taste. It will also be easier to blend and achieve that smooth consistency, which is ideal for this cocktail. When on the lookout for that perfect melon, look for a uniform shape, a creamy yellow spot where the melon has been resting on the ground, and listen for a hollow sound when you give it a knock.
