Best ways to enjoy it
Watermelon apple juice is best served chilled, perhaps with a few ice cubes to keep it cool. You can add a sprig of mint for an elegant touch and even serve it in beautiful glasses to impress guests. Pair it with light snacks like cheese and crackers or serve it alongside a fresh salad for a delightful brunch experience.
How to store
If you happen to have any leftover juice (though that’s unlikely with how delicious it is), you can store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Make sure it’s in an airtight container to keep it fresh. If you plan to keep it for a longer time, consider freezing the juice in ice-cube trays; this way, you can blend it into smoothies later!
Helpful cooking tips
To make the most out of your watermelon apple juice, choose fruits that are at their peak ripeness for the best flavor. A great shortcut is to juice watermelon and apple a day in advance—this allows the flavors to meld beautifully. And if you prefer a sweeter drink, don’t hesitate to add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup!
Creative twists
Don’t be afraid to get adventurous with your juice! Add a pinch of ginger for a spicy kick, or blend in some spinach or kale for added nutrition. You could also replace the lemon with lime for a different citrus touch or mix in some coconut water for an even tastier and more hydrating beverage.
