8 c. cubed seeded watermelon, divided
1 c. water, divided
1/3 c. granulated sugar, divided
1/4 c. fresh squeezed lime juice
1 liter seltzer water, pre-chilled
fresh lime slices
fresh mint leaves
Puree half of the cubed watermelon, half the water and half the sugar in a blender. Pour through a coarse strainer into a large container. Repeat with the remaining watermelon, water and sugar. Stir in lime juice. Refrigerate until very cold - at least 4 hours. Before serving, stir in seltzer and garnish with lime slices and mint, if desired. Try serving this refreshing beverage in something special, like a martini or margarita glass. Try it with other varieties of melons and cucumbers too!
