Salted Watermelon Juice

INGREDIENTS

6 cups cubed watermelon (from ¾ of a 6-lb. baby seedless watermelon)

¾ tsp. kosher salt

Lime wedges (for serving; optional)

Method of preparation

Purée watermelon in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher or measuring glass, pressing on solids to extract as much juice as possible; discard solids. Mix in salt.

Pour juice into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lime wedges if desired.
