Frozen Strawberry Watermelon Lemonade
Ingredients:
strawberry sugar, for rim-ming the glasses, optional (Why on earth isn't this word allowed????)
2 16-oz. packages fresh strawberries, hulled
2 c. chopped seedless watermelon
juice and zest of 1 large lemon
2 T. sugar, or more to taste
4 c. crushed ice
additional fresh strawberries, plus lemon wedges, for garnish if desired
For the rimmed sugar on the glasses, run the cut side of a lemon wedge around the rim of a glass. Dip rim into a small bowl of strawberry sugar. Repeat with remaining glasses and set aside.
In a blender, purée strawberries, watermelon, lemon juice and zest, and sugar. Test for flavor and sweetness. If it needs a bit more sweetness, add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. If you would like more lemon flavor, add more juice and zest. I don't call for much sugar because I didn't intend for this to be a super sweet and sugary lemonade. I wanted the fruit flavors to shine through, with minimal sugar. But adjust to your liking. Add crushed ice and blend until desired consistency is reached. Divide between glasses and garnish with strawberries and lemon wedges.
