Best summer beverage

It's hot outside. Mountain breezes are great, but it's still hot. When we get back from a long hike, there's a simple drink that always hits the spot. It's this delicious mixture of watermelon, mint and lime... if we were on a beach, we'd definitely add a little umbrella. Here's how you make it:

• Chop up a bunch of watermelon – the kind without seeds is much easier
• Wash a few sprigs of mint – hopefully, from your garden
• Grate some lime zest

Put a handful of ice in your blender, dump in about 2 cups of watermelon, add a few leaves of mint and a tiny bit of lime zest, and then press START. Blend until smooth and pour into a cup. Yum! It really hits the spot.
