# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No blender expertise required—just throw everything in and let it do the work.
  • It actually tastes like summer in a glass, not like you're trying too hard to be healthy.
  • Ready in ten minutes, which means you can make it while guests are arriving instead of panicking in the kitchen.
02 -
  • If your blender is struggling or making a grinding sound, you probably have too much ice relative to liquid—add a splash of water and try again instead of forcing it.
  • The moment you stop blending is crucial; keep going five seconds too long and the froth disappears and everything gets weirdly warm, but stop too early and you'll have chunks of watermelon that never quite went away.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer while you're prepping fruit—this single step makes the difference between a drink that stays cold for five minutes versus one that stays crisp through three happy sips.
  • If you're making this for a crowd, blend in batches rather than trying to overstuff your blender, which prevents the motor from struggling and keeps the texture actually smooth instead of weirdly chunky.
