Notes
This recipe is easy to change. Try these tips:
Make it boozy by adding 1 oz vodka or white rum per glass.
Swap club soda for ginger ale for extra sweetness.
Freeze watermelon cubes to use instead of ice for a stronger flavor.
For a slushie version, blend the strained juice with ice.
The drink tastes best when fresh. If needed, store watermelon juice separately in the fridge for up to 24 hours before mixing.
