Watermellon Lemonade

Along the same lines as the watermellon margaritas, I just found this recipe for watermellon lemonade. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet it is just as good for those of you who aren't as into margaritas. :) Here's the link.

If anyone tries this before I do you will have to post and let me know if you liked it.

I have to share!!!

I am so excited! I have to share with you all. I submitted a variation of the recipe I posted on here, Saturday brunch (under breakfasts), into the cache valley cheese cooking contest and I am a finalist!!! I have to go to the state fair park on August 22nd for a cook off. I have won at least $1000 and if I win the cook off I will $5000! How cool is that?!?! I have a whole stack of papers that I have to fill out and have notarized and IRS forms to fill out. It's a little overwhelming but I am so stoked!! My poor family is going to be eating a lot of quiche in the next month. I have to perfect it :) WOOHOOO!!!! crazy.

Virgin Watermelon Margaritas

Edited to alter recipe. 6 tablespoons of lime juice isn't quite enough. 8 seems to taste better. More margarita-ee to me. :)

A couple people have asked me how to make these so I figured I'd post it on here. :)

4 cups of seedless watermelon chunks.
8 T lime juice
2 or 3 T sugar. (or to taste.)
4 cup of ice
1/8 t. Salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Poor into glasses and garish with either lime wedges of watermelon wedges (optional of course). You can also coat the rim of the glasses with salt or sugar. It's up to you. I tried it both with and without salt on the rim and it was really good both ways. Serves 4.

To coat the rim of the glass you have to dip it in lime juice first so it will stick.
