The Best Thing to Do With Leftover Watermelon

• 1 small or 1/2 large seedless watermelon
• About 1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cups lemon juice (bottled or 6 to 8 lemons, juiced)
• 1/4 to 1 cup vanilla bean simple syrup or vanilla bean paste (really just depends on how sweet you like your lemonade)
• Ice
• Mint sprigs

My favorite method for juicing watermelon is through a chinois strainer. The fine mesh sieve catches the fibrous particles and the wooden pestle makes it easy to squish the juice out of every last bit of watermelon. However, if you don't have this, you can also simply blend up all the watermelon in a blender, then pour the juice through a sieve strainer and into a pitcher.

Then taste! It's probably very tart, but some watermelon is incredibly sweet. It just depends.
