INGREDIENTS
1/4 Cup Water
¼ Cup Sugar
14 Cups Diced Seedless Watermelon
¼ Cup Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
8 Sprigs Mint Leaves For Garnish
8 Lime Slices For Garnish
1 ¼ Cups Good Quality Tequila
Ice
Pour the water and sugar into a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool. In a blender or food processor puree the watermelon. You want the watermelon to be nice and smooth. Strain the watermelon over a large bowl and throw away any pulp. You want to get as much watermelon juice as possible. In a large pitcher combine the sugar water with the lime juice. Add the watermelon juice and tequila. Store in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Pour the cocktails into tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish with mint sprigs and lime slices and serve. Serves 8
