Rosemary Watermelon Juice {Share the Love}
Rosemary Watermelon Juice.
As we head into summer and backyard BBQ’s, there’s a good chance we’ll find ourselves with half a watermelon taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire.
I did. Water-melon. Water. Flavored water.
Do you see where I’m headed?

I took an average sized watermelon and cut half of it into glorious wedges. Wedges are always a favorite with my family.
The other watermelon half sat in my fridge for a few days. Until eventually a decision was made. We’re turning you into juice.
The rosemary idea came from Shelby. Her new issue of Vegetarian Times had an article about pairing Watermelon & Rosemary. I was sold.

This juice is super easy to make. Blend watermelon chunks until smooth. Strain through a medium mesh sieve to remove some of the pulp. Pour into a pitcher, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and allow to hang out in the fridge for a couple hours.
Two words – delicious and refreshing!
I infused the Watermelon Rosemary Juice with strawberries and kiwi (think sangria). The result was a second batch with a completely different flavor profile! I took a jug full to the office to {Share the Love}.
They loved it.
I will never look at leftover watermelon as a burden again. Just juice it up.
