For lunch, we went with the all-American combo of cheeseburgers and hot dogs served alongside corn with chili lime butter (I can't get enough of that stuff) and baked beans. To wash it all down, I made a big pitcher of Watermelon Limeade, inspired by this recipe. It was tart and sweet and summery and refreshing. And turns out, it's also delicious when mixed with a little champagne!
Ingredients
~6 lb watermelon (yields ~ 4 3/4 cup juice)
1 cup lime juice (3-4 large limes)
1/4 cup simple syrup
Directions
Cube up the watermelon, and place in a blender. Blend until pureed. (Puree in batches if necessary.)
Pour the watermelon puree through a fine metal strainer, and discard the strained pulp.
In a pitcher, stir together the watermelon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Chill (overnight if possible), give it a quick stir before serving, and enjoy!
