When I heard our friends, the Daurios, were headed up to Big Bear for the 4th of July, I knew they had to take the most DELICIOUS, most REFRESHING drink I've ever tasted with them.
It is honestly unbelievable. I first tried something like it at The Four Seasons Hotel called the Nojito and then at book club last year my dear friend, MINETTE DALAND (be sure to check out her website Ruffles and Ric Rak where she sells her AMAZING blankets!!!) made it and I was haunted by the taste. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I was. I seriously thought about that drink a million times since I first drank it and I finally recently asked Minette if she'd give me the recipe and she agreed! THANK YOU, MIN!!!
I made this for Dan's birthday party and everyone there died over it, and demanded the recipe. I'm not kidding... it was the hit of the night!
So what you see in the bag is 1/2 of a medium watermelon crushed and frozen. YUM! On the cute watermelon tag is the recipe for the drink.
OK, so this may sound like a stupid question....but you take a whole real watermelon, take out all the seeds, crush the red part and freeze it?
Sounds delicious and refreshing....will have to try it this week...if I have it down right! : )
