Notes

Boozy Watermelon Juice. You can add in some alcohol for a grown up drink. Vodka is most commonly added to watermelon and works well in this recipe. A common juice to vodka ratio is 2:1, however, watermelon juice is a light flavor so you may want to start with less vodka and add more to taste.

Double the recipe. This recipe makes enough for 3 glasses but if you want extra or to serve a group, just double the recipe to fill up a pitcher like the photos.
