Watermelon Mint Limeade Spritzer

 

This is a refreshing drink on a hot day. 

I had a watermelon and a picnic to attend, so I made up this beverage while getting ice and browsing the supermarket shelves before heading on our way to the picnic in the park. 

Ingredients 

1/2 large seedless watermelon, rinds removed, and chunks chopped small enough to shove in a blender.  (Save a couple of rinds and watermelon chunks for decoration in the punch bowl)

1 liter 7up

2 gallon containers fresh Limeade

1 liter club soda

10 lbs cube ice

1 handful fresh mint leaves (about 3 T ) bruised

Blend half of the watermelon with 2 c. limeade in blender or muddle watermelon in ice.  Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl or Igloo beverage container. 

Serve immediately.
