Watermelon Vodka Cooler

Ingredients

• 5 pounds seedless watermelon (about 1/2 medium size watermelon)
• 16 ounces lemonade, homemade or high quality
• 12 ounces vodka
• Watermelon balls for garnish

Directions

• Cut the watermelon flesh into chunks and working in batches, puree in a blender until liquefied. Strain through a fine sieve to remove the pulp - you should have about 4 cups of juice.
• Combine the watermelon juice, lemonade and alcohol in a 2-quart pitcher.
• Pour into a tall glass filled with ice and garnish with a melon wedge. Without the alcohol this makes a great children's drink.
