Recipe: Frozen watermelon-honeydew virgin mojitos

This drink iWho needs alcohol when you have sweet, refreshing frozen fruit and mint? Photo by NCRs finer than a fan on a blistering hot day.

Like a fan, it’ll cool you down. Better than a fan, it’ll nourish your body. There’s nothing but fresh fruit and mint in it.  

If you’ve never frozen watermelon or honeydew, it’s easy. Simply cut up the fruit into 1-inch wedges and arrange them in a single layer on a piece of aluminum foil. Freeze the fruit for at least two hours before making the drink.

This "mocktail" will melt quickly, so make it just before you’re ready to drink it. Cheers!

Juice of 2 large naval oranges
Juice of 2 limes
