Time 10m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups diced watermelon
6 ounces gin, divided
8 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 1/3 cups ginger ale, divided (we use diet with great results)
4 lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Puree the watermelon. Strain (I do not strain, I simply use the puree); divide the juice among 4 TALL ice-filled glasses.
  • Top each glass with 1 1/2 ounces gin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/3 cup ginger ale (I use a little more soda).
  • Garnish with the lime wedges.
  • NOTE: I mix mine up to take to the pool by combining the puree, gin and lime juice in a container and then just take cans of soda. I find that this amount makes 5 LARGE drinks.
