Made with watermelon and used 2 Tbs. honey instead of sugar (the watermelon was sweet enough, the juice of one lime (next time I'll use 2 limes, and a pinch of salt. I strained it into a fine mesh sieve, discarded the fibrous pulp and then chilled it for a couple of hours. I poured the puree 1/2 way into a glass with crushed ice and then topped it off with some seltzer. Garnish with a slice of lemon or lime. It was 97 deg. with 100% humidity here in NC today - this was very refreshing.
This is a great alternative to an alcoholic drink on a 90 degree day. The watermelon I used was pretty sweet, so it didn't need the whole 6 T of sugar. Best to hold off on the full amount of sugar and adjust as necessary depending on what fruit is used and its state of ripeness.

This is delicious and so easy to make. My grandson love this and I taught him how to make it himself. This is yummy with vodka for the grownups.
