Place the watermelon in a blender, making sure to tightly ram the cubes down so the blender can do its magic. Puree the watermelon into watermelon water. Pour it into a pitcher and add the lime juice. Add 3 tablespoons of the simple syrup and reserve the rest for another use.

To Serve, fill 6 pint glasses with ice and pour the watermelon limeade into each, up to an inch from the top. Top each glass with soda water and garnish with a slice of lime.
