Spiked Watermelon Lemonade

Happy first day of summer! This is so good and refreshing. Of course, you can leave out the vodka if you want, but hey, the first day of summer is a holiday right? I didn’t even know I had the straws with umbrellas—how fun!

Ingredients for two drinks:

4 cups of chilled watermelon, but into ½ inch to 1 inch cubes, divided
3 cups prepared lemonade, chilled
2 ounces vodka
Mint leaves and funky umbrellas for garnish

Directions: Place two cups of the watermelon cubes on a wax paper lined tray and freeze for one hour. These will be your ice cubes. Throw the other 2 cups of watermelon in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Combine the watermelon puree with the lemonade and vodka. Put the watermelon ice cubes equally into two tall glasses and pour the drink over. Top with umbrellas and mint leaves.
