Perhaps watermelon fans already know that a chilled wedge is not the only way to enjoy it. What about drinking it instead? Here, watermelon and strawberries are blended with a little sugar, lemon juice and a healthy glug of rum or vodka. Leave the spirits out if you're serving teetotalers or children. Paper umbrella optional.

A recommendation: If you have space in your freezer, freeze the cubed watermelon rather than watering-down the taste by using ice cubes.

I agree. No added sugar. I muddled some fresh basil into the glass!

I make strawberry and watermelon juice frequently. People love it.

I use organic strawberries and keep them unhulled and frozen as a staple. I add a few to my cold watermelon and turn on the vitamix. Simple, delicious and refreshing. No added sugar.

FANTASTIC! Got rave reviews at the party. I used basil simple syrup. Also used frozen watermelon and frozen strawberries and there was not enough liquid. Next time I will only freeze one of the fruits. We mixed in tequila and it was super delicious. Great to have one drink that can work so well for both boozy and NA drinks.

Added lime instead of lemon, no strawberries, no sugar and tequila!

I am allergic to strawberries. Any suggestions for an alternate berry or fruit?
