Happy Hour Drink Recipe: Watermelon Lemonade
With the 4th of July just days away and the sun beating down in most locales, my thoughts keep turning to watermelon. And whether you need a midweek refresher or another use for watermelon on the 4th, this drink is sure to quench your summer thirst.
This recipe comes from the July 2000 issue of Bon Appétit. It can be prepared 6 hours ahead and refrigerated. Add ice before serving.
Watermelon Lemonade
Ingredients:
7 cups 2-inch pieces peeled seeded watermelon (from about 4 pounds)
1 cup simple syrup
1 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons grenadine
1 cup gin
3 cups ice cubes
Optional garnish: lemon twists or watermelon wedges
Directions:
1. Purée watermelon pieces in a food processor. Strain watermelon purée into large pitcher, pressing on solids in strainer to extract as much juice as possible. Discard any solids in strainer.
2. Add simple syrup, lemon juice, and grenadine to pitcher; stir to blend. Stir in gin.
3. Stir 3 cups of ice cubes into watermelon lemonade. Pour into tall glasses. Garnish with lemon twists or watermelon wedges, if desired.
Serves 6.
