Notes
- If you want it to be richer and more concentrated, freeze the watermelons to omit the ice entirely.
- If you like to make it creamier and smoothie-like, you can add dairy-free milk, vegan yogurt, or vanilla ice cream.
- For an all-adult affair, add some vodka or tequila to the mix to make it into a fancy fruity cocktail! If you want to make it liquor and alcohol-free but still bubbly, you can add some sparkling water or juice for some nice watermelon cooler mocktails.
- You can also add some berries and fruits to amp up the flavor! Watermelon pairs well with mangoes, strawberries, and coconut. If you have frozen bananas stored in your fridge, this is an ideal time to use them.
- I added some mint leaves with my watermelon cooler to give it an even more refreshing menthol flavor. However, you can also use basil leaves for a hint of peppery and savory flavors.
