Over-ripe Watermelon Drink

Didn't use the watermelon fast enough, so when I started slicing, I saw a lot of 'soft' watermelon.  The texture makes it inedible although the fruit is still fine.  A gal from Texas recommended trying this and it worked well!  You can add other fruit juices for a punch, or add in a little red wine or sherry for some kick.  Try a small amount before dumping your watermelon. If you don't like 'pulpy' drinks, you could use some cheesecloth to strain the watermelon pulp out. Not a step I need.

Over-Ripe Watermelon Drink

Deseed watermelon. Add in sections to a blender and pulse a few times, then put on high to blend the heck out of it. Chill.   Also, chill cans of 7 Up.

Stir watermelon before serving.  Put some ice in a glass. Fill the glass with equal portions of watermelon juice and 7 up. Add a tablespoon or two of reconstituted lemon juice. Stir. Serve.
