Teeming with lycopene, vital amino acids and vitamin C, watermelon delivers serious hydration, skin boosting nutrients and a high summer vibe. We love to throw it in a blender for a fast and easy juice, but why stop there? Mix together a batch of these cocktails or spritzers and chill. Inside and out.
