How to make watermelon and mint refresher?

Is watermelon mint a sativa or indica?

Neither. While there is a cannabis strain named “Watermelon Mint,” the watermelon mint refresher is a non-cannabis drink. It’s made from fruit and herbs and has no psychoactive properties. It's safe, refreshing, and perfect for all ages.

What is the watermelon mint drink at Chick-fil-A?

Chick-fil-A’s version is a seasonal summer drink available in limited runs. Their watermelon mint lemonade blends flavored syrup with lemonade, mint essence, and sometimes iced tea. While it’s tasty, it uses flavor concentrates and added sugar, unlike the fresh, natural version you can make at home.

Does mint go well with watermelon?

Yes. Mint pairs beautifully with watermelon. The herb adds coolness and depth, enhancing the melon’s natural sweetness without overpowering it. This pairing is common in global summer drinks like aguas frescas and makes for a super satisfying flavor combo.
