# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • No artificial colors or weird aftertastes, just pure fruit brightness
  • Ready in ten minutes flat when friends drop by unexpectedly
  • The perfect balance of tart and sweet without any alcohol needed
02 -
  • Straining is optional but makes such a difference in texture that I rarely skip it anymore
  • Overripe watermelon will be sweeter, so start with less agave and taste as you go
03 -
  • Roll your limes on the counter before juicing to maximize every drop
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving
