# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in ten minutes, which means you can move from craving to sipping faster than the ice melts.
  • Fresh fruit does all the heavy lifting, so the flavor feels genuine and not artificially sweet.
  • Works for kids, pregnant friends, sober companions, and anyone else at your table without feeling like a compromise.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit makes a slushy drink, which some people love, but fresh fruit gives you more control over the texture and keeps the flavor profile cleaner and brighter.
  • The mint leaves will taste bitter if you blend them for more than a minute, so resist the urge to keep going after the mixture looks smooth—overblending is the silent killer of fresh herb drinks.
03 -
  • Buy strawberries and watermelon the day you plan to blend them—their flavor peaks within hours of ripeness, and nobody notices the difference like the person drinking it.
  • Keep your mint in a glass of water in the fridge between prep and blending, because mint wilts fast and wilted mint tastes metallic instead of bright.
