Watermelon Daiquiri's


Watermelons are large.  Even for a family four, there will be some left over.  Cube the last slices or use a melon baller to extract the last sweet morsels and freeze them in a resealable bag.  Later you can use them as ice cubes in fruit juice or.....

Make a pitcher of pure Watermelon Daiquiri's!

Serves 4
3 cups frozen watermelon cubes (about 1 quart size bag)
32 ounces limade (make your own real limeade or buy one with only lime juide, sugar and water)
8 ounces dark rum

Method
  1. Place the frozen watermelon in a blender.  
  2. Add about 10 ounces limade, enough to just cover the watermelon.  
  3. Blend on the ice cube setting until you have made a nice slush.  
  4. Add remainder of limeade and rum.  
Serve in tall glasses. 
Variation-- turn this into a pure Watermelon Margarita by replacing the rum with an equal amount of tequila.  (In the photo, the drink on the right is the margarita version.)
