In preparation for summer, WTRMLN WTR added to its collection of refreshing watermelon beverages with a Cayenne flavor with a kick. Just like WTRMLN WTR's previously released watermelon water drinks, this new one helps to replenish the body with [natural electrolytes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lth-supplement-line) from both the flesh and rind of the watermelon.

The new cold-pressed juiced watermelon drink is blended with lemon and [cayenne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veg8-cayenne) and is touted for its detoxifying benefits. The Cayenne WTRMLN WTR is packed with potassium, L-Citrulline for muscle recovery and antioxidants and contains no added sugar, which makes it a functional, hydrating alternative to either [coconut water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-coconut-water-with-watermelon) or sports drinks.

As well as expanding its beverage collection with a Cayenne flavor, WTRMLN WTR also launched Blood Orange, Cucumber and Mint flavors for the summer.
