Recipe Notes

• For the watermelon juice if your melon is sweet I suggest don’t add sugar. I like to enjoy the natural taste of the fruits.

• For the Mojito, if your tastebuds don’t like the minty flavor you can cut down that to half for just a subtle flavor.

• For the Slushy, I skipped the mint here, but you can add it and it’s refreshing and cooling to have fresh herbs init.
