Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the watermelon for freezing, remove the rind and cube the flesh into 1" pieces. Freeze the watermelon in a single layer on a baking sheet for 6 hours.


To prepare the simple syrup, put everything into a small sauce pot, bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. Chill.


To prepare the drink, place all of the ingredients, except the garnish, into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into chilled 8-oz glasses. Garnish with the watermelon wedges.
