Notes
Notes: While this recipe is assembled at the last minute, ingredients must be chilled in advance. It’s best to make mint syrup and chop watermelon in the morning or a day ahead. Watermelon separates, so the drink can’t be made ahead of time. If using a pitcher, serve with a large spoon so guests can stir before pouring.
Cut sugar down to 1/4 cup for less sweet drink.
