Well all right then:

Ingredients

Flesh of a 5-pound watermelon, cubed, seeds removed
1/4 cup lime juice, from 3 to 4 limes
2 tablespoons agave nectar

Procedures

1

In two batches, pulse the watermelon cubes in a blender just until
it looks like a chunky sauce, about 10 to 12 short pulses. Transfer pulp
to a colander lined with cheesecloth set over a large pot, stirring
occasionally until most of the liquid has dripped through. Transfer 3
1/2 cups of liquid to a large pitcher and reserve remainder for another use.

2

Add lime juice and agave nectar to pitcher and stir to combine.
Refrigerate until completely cool. Serve in ice-filled glasses,
garnished with lime zest or rings if desired.


I promise you if you like a cool summer drink over ice, this one is
fantastic.

I use a fine steel mesh colander and one liner of cheesecloth.

Removing the seeds is a chore, but a seeded watermelon seems to be sweeter.
