Reviews
My guest loved it. Sugar is definitely optional because my watermelon was sweet enough. My only complaint is the time and effort to strain the juice. Maybe a Vitamix rather than a blender/ food processor would have made it easier.
Very underwhelmed…sorry Val. Yours looked amazing, but mine tasted watery. A lot of work & dishes for a drink.
Fantastic. No need to strain if you use a seedless watermelon. I’m drinking it with Cuervo gold and Angostura bitters mixed in.
