Delicious Watermelonade

Watermelonade

You will be hard-pressed to find something more refreshing than watermelon. This cooler is easy to make, and not too sweet. You’ll want a pitcher of it in the refrigerator all summer.

Ingredients:

• 1 (12-pound) watermelon (preferably seedless)
• 1/4 cup agave, divided
• 4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, divided
• 16 cups ice cubes, divided

Preparation:

Cut watermelon flesh into 2-inch chunks and discard rind. Purée one fourth of watermelon in a blender with 1 Tbsp agave, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 4 cups ice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Make 3 more batches. Add sugar to taste if desired and serve over ice.
