A cup of this fresh and chilled watermelon drink is sure to make you feel refreshed. Also, watermelon has lots of water content so it's perfect if you are looking for hydrating fruit recipes for hot weather. Other cooling and refreshing drink recipes in this blog which are perfect for summer include mango smoothie recipe using mango pulp, strawberry lemon juice recipe etc and a lot more drinks! You may use the watermelon rinds too in this recipe, as the watermelon rinds are edible and the rinds are used in may watermelon rind juice recipes. Watermelon rinds are the outer layer of the fruit that is just under the skin and they are edible too, but many times we just throw them away in the trash as we usually scoop out the flesh of the watermelon without the rinds. But if you like to use the watermelon rinds in this watermelon juice recipe with rind, feel free to use them as the rinds are edible and tasty. That way, you can also reduce the wastage of the watermelon rinds which is totally unnecessary.

However, it is not necessary to use the watermelon rinds, as you can just scoop out the flesh and use the watermelon flesh without any rinds, if that is what you prefer. Either way, watermelon juice is just so delicious, refreshing and hydrating. You may add sugar or any sweetener of your choice if you desire more sweetness, but I like to make this without any additional sweetner. In fact, I never use any sweetener or sugar in the watermelon juice, as the fresh and cold watermelon juice without sugar is my most favorite drink for summer.

Adding a little lemon juice will make this watermelon juice even more flavorful and delicious just like a watermelon lemonade drink, but that's totally optional, as the watermelon without lemon juice tastes just delicious and refreshing as it is.

Many recipes for watermelon juice do not use any water, since watermelon has a lot of water content on its own. I like to add a little extra water to thin it out, as I prefer it that way and I think that is the most delicious way to enjoy the watermelon when you just want to sip it so quickly. Even if I want to sit down and enjoy the watermelon juice slowly, I usually prefer it this way. You can find many kinds of watermelon drinks which you can buy online, like this watermelon hydrating water, cold pressed watermelon juice, organic watermelon drink for kids, watermelon cocktail etc but preparing fresh watermelon juice at home is very easy if you have fresh watermelons. So here is how I make the watermelon juice following this easy and simple watermelon juice recipe with rind. Make sure to use fresh and chilled watermelon to make the best refreshing drink, you can also use frozen watermelon cubes to make this juice which will make it more refreshing and delicious. If you keep the sliced watermelon or the prepared watermelon juice outside for a while, it won't taste good.

So make sure to use chilled watermelon slices to make the juice (or frozen for best results) and enjoy it as soon as it is made. If you are using the prepared watermelon juice for later use, like even after about half an hour, make sure to keep it chilled until the usage. I am not sure if it will keep fresh for more than a day, as usually it will lose the freshness in a day. So make sure to enjoy the watermelon juice fresh and chilled for best results.

Notes: use seedless watermelon or scoop out the seeds before juicing
