Watermelon is my absolute favorite (as a little girl my grandfather would call me "watermelanie"), so when I saw this recipe posted on martha stewart I admittedly became a little giddy. My lil' sis is graduating today, but I am going to try to find time to whip some of this up!!! Recipe below:

Watermelon Limeaid

Makes 2 quarts


3 cups chopped seedless watermelon (about 6 pounds)

1/2 cup 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4)

2 to 4 tablespoons tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup 1/2 cup vodka (optional)

Ice cubes, for serving

Fresh mint leaves, for serving


1. Working in batches, purée watermelon in a blender with lime juice until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, and blend to combine. Taste, adding more sugar if necessary. Transfer to a pitcher. Stir in vodka, if using. Cover, and chill for up to 2 hours. Before serving, stir well, and serve over ice, garnished with mint.
