Watermelon Mint Limeaid


Ingredients
8 cups watermelon, seeded and cubed (about 6 pounds)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
2-8 tablespoons super-fine sugar (adjust if too sweet when using a naturally sweeter watermelon)
1/2 cup vodka
24 mint leaves (muddled)
very thin lime slices, halved into half moons


Directions
Add the watermelon, lime juice, vodka, and sugar and puree until smooth. Muddle mint leaves and add to puree. Stir and serve.

I like to freeze the watermelon the day before to keep the drinks more chilled when serving. I put the frozen watermelon into the blender when I blend and also slice some limes and freeze the lime slices the night before to dump them in the serving container to keep the drink cold and for decoration.
