Watermelon Lime Spritzer

It feels like summer outside. It’s warm and breezy, reminds me of lazy days on the porch sipping refreshing drinks.

Except the grass is entirely brown, and the breeze is a 50 mph wind today. Well, it’s better than snow, so I’ll take it!

I still want a refreshing drink though.

I found a use for all those extra watermelons we had last year. I attempted to make watermelon jelly from them, but it was a bit of a failure.

It didn’t gel at all. I have jars of runny watermelon substance sitting on my pantry shelves. Such a shame, don’t you agree?

I finally came up with a solution.

I mixed the runny jelly with a few other things to create this yummy drink.

Here’s what you will need:

2 -1 liter bottles Seltzer water

1 can frozen Limeade concentrate

2 cups watermelon syrup

(you can make your own syrup by boiling 4 cups cubed melon, with 1 cup sugar until dissolved)

Watermelon and lime wedges for garnish

Mix all ingredients and serve. Makes about 12 servings.

I couldn’t resist adding a cute little umbrella, they make everything taste better don’t you think?

Enjoy!
