Watermelon Lemonade Cocktail Recipe

• 3 pounds seedless watermelon, rind removed and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
• 1 cup light rum
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 7 medium lemons)
• 1/2 cup blackberry or raspberry liqueur
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• Ice
• Blackberries, for garnish

1. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and set it aside.
2. Place the watermelon in a blender and blend until liquified, about 1 minute.
3. Pour through the strainer into the bowl and scrape a rubber spatula against the inside surface of the strainer to push the juice through until only pulp remains.
4. Discard the pulp.
5. (You should have about 3 cups of juice.)
6. Transfer the watermelon juice to a nonreactive 2-quart container.
7. Add the rum, lemon juice, liqueur, and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
8. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
9. Just before serving, stir to recombine.
10. Pour over ice and garnish with a few blackberries.
