Notes
- For extra chill, refrigerate all ingredients before assembling. - Add a sprinkle of fresh mint for an extra layer of freshness. - If making ahead, add the lime juice and coconut just before serving to prevent sogginess. - Ensure your watermelon is perfectly ripe for the best flavor; it should sound hollow when tapped.
