Notes
Overripe watermelon works great for this recipe.
Frozen store-bought watermelon can be used; thaw slightly before blending.
Alcohol (like vodka) can be added for a softer, boozy version.
Flavor mute slightly when frozen — blend slightly more tart/sweet than your final goal.
Customize with mint, basil, cayenne, or strawberries.
