1. Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Ensure it is seedless or remove any black seeds.
2. In a blender, combine 4 cups of cubed watermelon, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 6 fresh mint leaves.
3. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
4. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the drink is frosty and the ice is fully crushed.
5. Check the consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water and blend again until desired consistency is achieved.
6. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey, if needed.
7. Pour into glasses, garnish with a sprig of mint or a small watermelon wedge if desired, and serve immediately.
