are you a drinker Alex and I are always on the lookout for interesting drinks that are a healthy alternative to soda. We’ve found that adding fruit to the water offers an ultra-refreshing, subtle flavor! So have a few fruit infused water recipes that are great for entertaining or just for everyday use.
Now that it’s summer, we’ve found a really easy way to make an ultra-refreshing and healthy “fancy” drink: watermelon pickle juice! It takes a few minutes to make and garnished with a small piece of watermelon, it’s gorgeous too. And something about cucumber brings a relaxing spa-like vibe. Ready to start?

How to make watermelon pickle juice
You don’t need a juicer to make watermelon pickle juice: just a basic blender and fine-mesh strainer! The concept is that you mix the watermelon and cucumber and then strain all the particles (watermelon seeds, cucumber skin) with a sieve. The result is a really refreshing juice that also looks stunning!
For some reason, cucumber in drinks reminds me of a spa: or at least something very relaxing. Someone else? I’ve only had to drink cucumber water in extremely relaxing situations: but something about it gives it a relaxing vibe! Pair that with sweet watermelon and it’s a perfect pairing for a hydrating summer drink.
How to make watermelon pickle juice:
- Chill the watermelon. (You can add ice to the ice cream, but that can thin it out, so we recommend keeping it cold until you’re ready to make the juice.)
- Cut the watermelon into cubes. Roughly slice the cucumber.
- Blend the watermelon and cucumber until runny. Use the ratio of 1 part cucumber to 8 parts watermelon (we used 4 cups watermelon and ½ cup cucumber).
- Pour through a fine sieve into a clean container.
- If desired, make small toppings with watermelon wedges and cucumber slices. Enjoy!
What is the nutrition of watermelons?
Another reason to drink watermelon pickle juice? Watermelon is very healthy! Here are some of the benefits of drinking your watermelon — it is (source):
