Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
5 cups watermelon, seeds removed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/4 cups vodka
2 ounces melon liqueur, optional
8 lemon twists, for garnish

Instructions
Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small
saucepan and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved. Let cool.

In a food processor, puree the watermelon flesh. Add a little of the sugar syrup
to sweeten, to taste. Pour the pureed watermelon into 2 empty ice cube trays and
freeze for at least 4 hours.

In a blender combine the frozen watermelon cubes, more simple syrup, to taste,
lemon juice and vodka, melon liqueur and blend until smooth. Pour into 8 frozen
martini glasses and garnish with a lemon twist.
