I used lemonade since I did not have limeade available. I also kept watermelon as it was-I id not discard the pulp as I wanted it to be slushy! I used chilled lemon seltzer water!This is an excellent way to use watermelon! delowenstein

My friend and I made this and it was fantastic. We used champagne instead of sparkling water and it really kicked it up a notch.
