WATERMELON GINGER BEER
The recipe for this batch drink, from Nicole Taylor's book, "Watermelon and Red Birds," includes the juice from a red-fleshed watermelon, ideally from one with seeds. (They can be hard to find; seedless melons work too.) If you own a juicer, proceed with the seeds and all and don't worry about straining. Watermelon is over 90 percent water and is a nutrient-dense food. This drink can serve as an everyday accompaniment at breakfast, lunch, dinner or with a snack.

Steps:
- Divide the fennel fronds, if using, between two ice cube trays. Fill with filtered water and freeze until solid, 4 to 8 hours.
- Meanwhile, place the watermelon in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape the sides of the blender or food processor using a rubber spatula and blend again.
- Place a fine metal sieve over a large bowl and strain the pureed watermelon through the sieve. (This should yield 2 to 3 cups of juice). Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve; it will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To serve, fill four highball glasses or rocks glasses with the ice cubes. Stir the watermelon juice and add ½ cup to each glass. Top off with ½ cup ginger beer.
Tips:
- Choose ripe watermelon: The riper the watermelon, the sweeter and more flavorful the spritzer will be. Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size, has a deep red color, and sounds hollow when you tap it.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more pungent flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
- Chill the ingredients before assembling: This will help the spritzer to be extra refreshing.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or mint sprig: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the spritzer.
Conclusion:
This watermelon and ginger spritzer is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of watermelon, ginger, and lime is delicious and thirst-quenching. This spritzer is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium.
