Watermelon-Lemonade Coolers

From Southern Living's SECRETS OF THE SOUTH’S BEST BARBEQUE. This is a great recipe for using up the loads of watermelon I tend to have on hand all summer long!

Prep: 25 min., Cook: 10 min., Other: 8 hrs.

15 cups seeded and cubed watermelon
2 (12-oz.) cans frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed and undiluted
2 mint sprigs
Garnishes: watermelon wedges, fresh mint sprigs

Process watermelon, in batches, in a blender or foodprocessor until smooth.

Combine lemonade concentrate and 2 mint sprigs, and cook in a saucepan over medium-high heat 10
minutes. Stir together watermelon puree and lemonade mixture; cover and chill 8 hours. Remove and
discard mint. Stir and serve over ice. Garnish, if desired. Makes 14 cups.
