Here’s a refreshing change for a summertime drink that uses icy cold watermelon and limeade concentrate. Allow enough time to freeze the watermelon prior to preparing beverage.
INGREDIENTS:
1 small watermelon, cut into 1/2-inch cubes watermelon (8 cups)
1 1/2 cups ginger ale
1/3 cup water
1 can (6 oz) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
METHOD:
Cut watermelon into cubes, discarding any seeds. Place watermelon cubes in 1-gallon resealable freezer plastic bag and place them on a small baking sheet. Arrange cubes into one layer and place in the freezer. Freeze for 8 hours.
When ready to make the beverage, remove frozen watermelon chunks from the freezer and allow them to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
In a blender, place HALF of each watermelon, ginger ale, water, and limeade concentrate. Cover and blend on medium speed until smooth. Pour mixture into a pitcher. Repeat with remaining ingredients and stir into mixture in pitcher. Serve immediately.
