Summer Tasting Time

Found this recipe through Food Gawker. Delicious! Of course, I improvised as I always do. Had a virgin Watermelon Fizz this time around. Instead of Ginger Ale, I used Diet 7up. Not to sweet, just perfect! A wonderful, refreshing summer drink!

Dinners, Dishes & Desserts (Watermelon Fizz)

4 cups watermelon, diced
2 limes
1 1/3 cup Ginger Ale
A few chunks of watermelon frozen, for garnish
lime wedges, for garnish
3 oz Gin (optional)

Puree the 4 cups of watermelon in a food processor or blender.  Pour through a strainer.  You should have about 1 cup of watermelon juice.  Fill each cup with ice.  Pour about 1/3 – 1/2 cup of watermelon juice over the ice.   Into each glass squeeze the juice of one lime. If using Gin add 1 1/2 oz to each glass.  Pour in 2/3 cup of Ginger Ale, and stir.  Garnish with frozen watermelon, and a lime wedge.
