Ingredients

1 (12-lb) watermelon (preferably seedless)

1/4 cup sugar, divided

4 tsp fresh lemon juice, divided

16 cups ice cubes, divided

Garnish: lemon slices; mint sprigs

Directions

Cut watermelon flesh into 2-inch chunks and discard rind. Purée one fourth of watermelon in a blender with 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp lemon juice, 4 cups ice, and a pinch of salt. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Make 3 more batches. Add sugar to taste if desired and serve over ice.

Cooks' note: Watermelonade can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Drink will separate; re-blend before serving.
