If you want more chilled juice then add more ice cubes and refrigerate. If you want, you can also decorate 1 to 2 mint leaves on top of the juice in the glass.

2 – If the watermelon is not sweet enough then add sugar to it but it would be better to choose the right watermelon while purchasing.
3 – If you like the juice to be pulpy and thick then don’t strain it but the watermelon should be seedless.
4 – After sitting for a long time if the juice separates give it a swirl with a spoon.
If you like it plain then don’t add salt or lemon juice.
