Salty Watermelon Lime Spritzer

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

1 can AHA Watermelon Lime or other sparkling water <save more for later>
6 cups cubed watermelon
½ cup lime juice
½ tsp salt
2-3 tbsp honey or your favorite sweetener

Instructions

In a blender, add watermelon, lime juice, salt and honey. Blend well. You can strain with a mesh strainer if you want it extra smooth, but you do not have to.
Add more honey to taste - this will depend on how ripe your watermelon is & how sweet you'd like it to be.
Mix equal parts watermelon juice & sparkling water and add ice. Enjoy!
Save extra watermelon juice in a mason jar with lid for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

This is a great post-run mocktail that can help with hydration & recovery.

But, if you choose to have a post-run cocktail - studies show that eating a balanced meal <protein, carbs, fat> + hydration before choosing an alcoholic beverage helps decrease the negative side effects of alcohol on recovery. So, if you add some tequila or vodka let us know how it tastes!
