With only 6 ingredients, this Watermelon Cilantro Drink is a thirst quencher. Its super prefect for summer BBQ parties and get-together. Ready in about 5 minutes this beverage is kid friendly as well.
I know the combinations in this recipe are unimaginable and trust me the taste is equally unimaginable.
When I first took a sip I was stunned and amazed at its deliciousness. To confirm my assessment I made my husband drink it. I decided to hide the ingredients from him. He happily gulped down the whole glass. To me surprise he asked for another one 🙂 . I was thrilled with his reaction.
He thoroughly enjoyed it and kept asking me the details and I couldn’t stop smiling to myself.
This Watermelon Cilantro Drink is not only healthy but mind blowing as well.
The best possible way to explain the unique flavors in it, would be to simply blend the ingredients in a blender in your home and serve to your loved ones and to your guests.
You will be appreciated for this drink forever and innumerable times.
Simple ingredients for Watermelon Cilantro Drink

Another fun and best part about this recipe is that you can be creative with it by adjusting its ingredients as per your taste.
For example – I increased the quantity of fresh chopped cilantro in my drink to ¼ cup to get that extra punch in my drink.
Rohit likes softer tastes so I kept it to the original measurement.
For Yashvi I kept everything at the original measurement and did not garnish with mint leaves.
In all these three situations this Watermelon Cilantro Drink left it’s satisfying and lingering flavor on our tastes buds.
I can’t tell you how big of a fan we are to this day and will continue to consume this beverage till the summer ends 🙂

This drink sounds like it would be super light and refreshing, especially during the hot and humid days of summer! I would certainly leave out the cilantro though; would you suggest just leaving it out or substituting it with something else?

Cilantro brings out a distinct flavor to this drink. I would recommend that if you have no allergy then try it with cilantro. Its delicious.
