Just back from NYC where I had stumbled across Blue Smoke – ok, to be fair it was my friend who’d googled bbq places in the city and found it. Had a porch swing and thought I’d gone to cocktail heaven. A bottle of Hendricks was bought at duty free on the way home and I am sure that many attempts will be made to replicate it now we’re back home. Fantastic!

The photos are of lemons. I cubed the watermelon to put it into chunks before running it through my food processor to puree it. You then want to strain the puree to remove the seeds.

It looks like in your pictures you are showing oranges? But the recipe doesn’t use them so I am wondering if my eyes are playing tricks on me. Also I wanted to understand better about how you use the watermelon. Do you squeeze the watermelon cubes through a strainer so as only to yield the juice or do you use the pulp of the watermelon? Thanks for clearing this up for me

deee-lish. i doubled the recipe and still got six glasses out of it. i love that it tastes just like lemonade but then the after-taste is where the watermelon comes in. my boyfriend loves watermelon and this was a great way to have it. thanks!

I’m pregnant and keep looking for new drink recipes to take the place of a nightly cocktail. I have a huge watermelon in the fridge and tons of lemons…. can’t wait to make this! And my kids will love it too.

I had a big watermelon sitting in my kitchen that my dad brought when he visited a few days ago. The other family members I live with don’t eat watermelon and I can’t picture eating the whole thing by myself. So I came here to see if you have any good ideas and lo! This is so yummy! Used a little more watermelon puree than indicated because I like my lemonade thin. Thank you thank you for a wonderful drink! This will be a stple from now on for sure!

This was great! TIP: pour the leftover watermelon puree into popsicle molds. Summer of 2011 will now be referred to as “the summer I discovered how to make watermelon popsicles”.

I’m pregnant and missing the summer cocktails. This made me really really happy. Thanks.

Thank you for the tip on the Tovolo ice cube trays. They arrived yesterday and I don’t think I’ll be ever be content with plain old ice-maker ice cubes again. These trays make perfect ice cubes! I had no idea what a difference (in both chilling and aesthetic terms) proper ice cubes could make. Thanks again.

This is going int my recipe book if for the sole reason that my boyfriend is always whining that there is no such thing as watermelon juice.
