Prepare the Pomegranate Juice:
Begin by pureeing the fresh pomegranate kernels in a blender. After blending, strain the juice to remove any residue, then set the juice aside. -
Prepare the Cantaloupe Juice:
In the same blender, add the diced cantaloupe along with a small amount of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. While straining is optional, leaving the natural fibers in the juice will add texture and a richer flavor, which I personally recommend. -
Combine the Juices and Add Flavor:
Pour both the pomegranate and cantaloupe juices into a mixing container. Add the chopped mint leaves, salt to taste, and the fresh juice of one lemon. Stir everything well to combine. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Pour the refreshing Cantaloupe Pomegranate and Mint Juice into glasses filled with ice for an extra chill. Serve immediately as a delicious, revitalizing summer drink.
Serving Suggestions:
For a well-rounded summer spread, serve this juice alongside a light appetizer like Protein Fingers Recipe or complement it with a Fizzy Pomegranate & Mint Mocktail for a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage at your next cocktail gathering.
Enjoy the perfect blend of summer flavors with this Cantaloupe Pomegranate and Mint Juice – it’s sure to be a hit for both kids and adults alike!
Notes:
- You can easily make this juice more festive by adding a splash of liqueur for adult gatherings.
- For a healthier version, skip the added sweeteners, as both the pomegranate and cantaloupe are naturally sweet and flavorful.
