Notes
Storage: This drink is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving if it separates.
For a sweeter drink, feel free to add honey or agave syrup to taste. If you prefer a creamier texture, consider blending in a bit of coconut milk or almond milk.
If you don’t have fresh melon, you can use frozen melon chunks, which will make the drink even cooler and slushier. And remember, this drink is best enjoyed immediately after blending for the freshest taste!
