Galaxy Watermelon Strawberry Refresher
Get Ready for a Galaxy in a Glass! πππ
Heyyy! So, have you ever just looked at your fridge and thought, βI need something that screams summer but also looks like a cosmic dream?β π€ Thatβs exactly how I ended up making this Galaxy Watermelon Strawberry Refresher. Like, who doesnβt want to sip on something that looks like it came straight outta space, right?

Okay, Letβs Talk Ingredients
Alright, hereβs the scoopβliterally! Youβre gonna need:
β 4 cups watermelon (I know, itβs a lot, but trust me)
β 2 cups strawberries (fresh, please, weβre not playing)
β 1 cup coconut water (the kind that makes you feel like youβre on a beach)
β 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (make sure itβs alcohol-free unless you wanna party, haha)
β 1 tablespoon agave syrup (sweet but not too sweet, ya feel?)
β 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (that zing is everything)
β 1 cup sparkling water (bubbles are life)
β Fresh mint leaves (because weβre fancy like that)
β Edible glitter (1000% optional, but why not?)
So Hereβs Why I Make This Constantly
Okay, so hereβs the deal: last summer, I was having this BBQ, right? It was like 100 degrees outside and I was like, βI need something to cool us down before we all melt.β I whipped this up and, OMG, the crowd went wild! People were literally fighting over the last drop. π I mean, who knew watermelon and strawberries would just vibe together so well? Plus, the edible glitter? Total game-changer. It was like, βHey, look at this magical drink!β Every sip was like a mini-vacation.

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 theyβre chewing, right? Trust me on this one!
Donβt Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
1. Use super ripe fruit β Like, if itβs not sweet enough, you might as well just drink plain water, ya know?
2. Chill the mixture β You can skip this if youβre super thirsty, but chilling it really elevates the refreshment game.
3. Go easy on the agave β You can always add more, but once itβs in there, itβs kinda too late.
4. Add the sparkling water last β This keeps it fizzy for longer. Donβt be that person who serves flat drinks, please!
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
So, hereβs the thing: Iβve 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 youβll miss out on all that fizzy goodness.
If You Liked This, Youβll Probably Like These Too
You know what else is a total vibe?
β Tropical Pineapple Mint Cooler β Itβs like a vacation in a cup. ποΈ
β Cucumber Lemonade β Refreshing and zesty, duh!
β Mango Coconut Splash β This oneβs like the beach party of drinks.
So, do you think youβre gonna try this? Or have you made a drink thatβs even more cosmic? Iβm so curious! Letβs chat! πΉβ¨
