The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s the scoop—literally! You’re gonna need:
– 4 cups watermelon (I know, it’s a lot, but trust me)
– 2 cups strawberries (fresh, please, we’re not playing)
– 1 cup coconut water (the kind that makes you feel like you’re on a beach)
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (make sure it’s alcohol-free unless you wanna party, haha)
– 1 tablespoon agave syrup (sweet but not too sweet, ya feel?)
– 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (that zing is everything)
– 1 cup sparkling water (bubbles are life)
– Fresh mint leaves (because we’re fancy like that)
– Edible glitter (1000% optional, but why not?)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so here’s the deal: last summer, I was having this BBQ, right? It was like 100 degrees outside and I was like, “I need something to cool us down before we all melt.” I whipped this up and, OMG, the crowd went wild! People were literally fighting over the last drop. 😂 I mean, who knew watermelon and strawberries would just vibe together so well? Plus, the edible glitter? Total game-changer. It was like, “Hey, look at this magical drink!” Every sip was like a mini-vacation.

Just as gorgeous from this angle too!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, so listen up! The secret trick? Strain that smoothie through a fine mesh sieve. Seriously! It takes a bit of extra time, but it makes all the difference. You want it silky smooth, not chunky. Nobody wants to sip a drink and feel like they’re chewing, right? Trust me on this one!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Use super ripe fruit – Like, if it’s not sweet enough, you might as well just drink plain water, ya know?
2. Chill the mixture – You can skip this if you’re super thirsty, but chilling it really elevates the refreshment game.
3. Go easy on the agave – You can always add more, but once it’s in there, it’s kinda too late.
4. Add the sparkling water last – This keeps it fizzy for longer. Don’t be that person who serves flat drinks, please!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, here’s the thing: I’ve never had leftovers with this, but if you, like, miraculously do, just pop it in the fridge in an airtight container. But seriously, drink it the same day or you’ll miss out on all that fizzy goodness.
