  1. To make the watermelon juice, simply blend 1 cup fresh watermelon in a blender until smooth. Run through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp.

Notes

Homemade Simple Syrup

It just takes 2 ingredients and a few minutes to make a basic simple syrup. Here's how:
  1. In a saucepan, combine equal parts granulated sugar and water (1 cup sugar + 1 cup water).
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
  4. Transfer to an airtight glass container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
