From Andrea's Kitchen.....soon to be a better kitchen!
I had a watermelon in desperate need of being used, and after making a granita I still had half a melon left. What is a girl to do when a melon starts to get grainy and won't be good for much longer? Why, we drink it of course!
2 cups coursely chopped watermelon
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 to 1/2 c rum (some like it strong.....Valerie!!) I imagine vodka would work too, but you would want to add some other flavor, maybe orange liquor.
juice of 1/2 lemon
Puree the mixture then add ice to fill blender to 3/4 full. Blend until it is the consistency you want. I have to say, even though I am not supposed to be drinking during the week, I will try this with my cantelope this weekend!
Next time I will add mint to the mix, I just didn't have any on hand.
