Makes one
2 cups diced seedless watermelon
1-2 Tb Minted Lime Simple Syrup (recipe below)
4-5 ice cubes
½ cup water
To make Minted Lime Simple Syrup:
½ cup lime juice (about 4 limes)
½ cup sugar
Peel from two limes, cut into long strips, avoiding the white pith beneath
1 cup fresh mint leaves
Combine the lime juice, sugar, lime zest, and mint in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a medium simmer and cook for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to steep for about 15 minutes. Remove the zest and mint leaves and pour the syrup into a jar. The extra syrup keeps for several weeks in the fridge.
Combine the ingredients in a blender or Magic Bullet. Garnish with mint leaves and a slice of watermelon and enjoy.
