Chill your ingredients. Cold fruit and coconut water make the drink crisp and refreshing. If the watermelon isn’t cold, toss the cubes in the fridge for 30–60 minutes.

Blend the base. Add the watermelon, coconut water, lime juice, and honey (if using) to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and frothy.

Add electrolytes. Sprinkle in the sea salt and magnesium powder (if using). Blend for 5–10 seconds to combine. Start with the lower amount of salt and taste before adding more.

Taste and adjust. You want a bright, lightly sweet, slightly salty sip. Add another squeeze of lime for tang, a touch more honey for sweetness, or a tiny pinch more salt if you’ve been sweating a lot.

Strain (optional). For a smoother texture, pour the blend through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. This removes some pulp and foam.

Serve over ice. Fill glasses with ice and pour in the drink. Smack a few mint leaves between your palms and add to each glass for a fresh aroma.

Store the rest. Transfer leftovers to a sealed jar or bottle and refrigerate. Shake or stir before each pour.
