Watermelon Lime Spritzer

Craving something refreshingly sweet and tangy? Our Watermelon Lime Spritzer is the ultimate summer sip!

by Elizabeth Kurtz

Food 4 Thought

Eat with health and wellness in mind. Yes, we can enjoy the foods that we eat, but in proper measure and not at the expense of our bodies. As Maimonides, the famous rabbi, philosopher and doctor of 12th century Spain writes, “Bodily health and wellbeing are part of the path to God, for it is impossible to understand or have any knowledge of the Creator when one is sick. Therefore one must avoid anything that may harm the body and one must cultivate healthful habits.” When we choose to eat healthy we are making a statement that our eating is not an end in and of itself, but rather a means to help us to become our best selves and live our greatest lives.

Instructions

Using an immersion blender, puree watermelon until smooth.
Strain through a sieve into a pitcher, and discard solids.
Add water, sugar, and lime juice to pitcher, and stir to combine.
Cover and chill for at least one hour before serving.
Add some crushed ice before serving and garnish each glass with a lime wedge or a cut piece of watermelon and mint sprigs. I like to cut the watermelon in fun shapes like stars or hearts.
