Watermelon Mocktini

This sweet and delicious non-alcoholic sipper is powered by the nutritional benefits of watermelon, a good source of vitamins A, B6 and C along with fiber, potassium and lycopene, a phytochemical that appears to protect against age-related health issues. And with no alcohol, it's perfect for everyone.

    Delicious! Pear juice is - who knew? I didn't have ice cubes, so I used frozen blueberries and then left them in. I also put in some chunks of watermelon and a squeeze of blueberry honey. Thanks, Canyon Ranch. I'll be making this a lot. (Jul 5, 2009 6:03:05 PM)
