Watermelon makes such gorgeous drinks. Tasty with a kick of fresh ginger and some tart lemon juice. Great for kids, and grownups can add some white rum or tequila for a summer cocktail.
3 tablespoons ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups seltzer water
3 pounds watermelon, flesh of, pureed and strained
1 lemon, juiced
ice cubes, as needed
lemon slices, for garnish
Combine ginger, sugar and water in a small pot and bring to a low simmer for 10 minutes to dissolve sugar. Strain warm syrup and allow to cool.
Combine syrup, watermelon puree, and lemon juice in large pitcher. Top with seltzer water and pour over ice. Garnish with fresh lemon, if desired.
