Equipment

Ingredients

½ cups sugar
½ cups water
3 oranges zested
2 cups watermelon seeded and cubed
¼ cups lime juice about equal to the juice from 3 limes
¾ cups lemon-lime soda pop or club soda

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and orange zest to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar completely dissolves, about 3 minutes. Pour through a strainer to remove the zest, and then let syrup cool in a bowl.
In a blender, puree 2 cups of watermelon cubes until smooth.
In a 2-quart pitcher, combine watermelon puree, syrup, and lime juice. Mix well. Add soda and stir very gently. Pour into glasses.
Garnish with lime wedges, watermelon wedges, or mint sprigs.

Notes

You can substitute any fruit for the watermelon in this refreshing and summery drink.

How about a scoop of ice cream on top? Heavenly!

For the summer, you could also pour this drink into popsicle molds and freeze it.
