Sweet & Spicy Watermelon Cooler

In the summer months, it would be a shame not to take advantage of all the locally grown, fresh seasonal fruit. I LOVE my water, but sometimes I crave something with a little more pizzaz! If you’re thinking “Happy Hour” give this one a try. The spice can be easily adjusted by using less jalapeno or taking out the seeds altogether.

As the name suggests, watermelon is over 90% water! It is also a great source of vitamin C and the carotenoid/antioxidant lycopene. At only 46 calories and 9 grams of sugar per cup of watermelon, it certainly makes a delicious and nutritious base for smoothies, drinks and summer cocktails.
