Ingredients:
400g fresh watermelon flesh, deseeded
2 shots (35ml each/ 2.6 units in total) of Smirnoff vodka
4 tbsp lemon or lime juice
100g ice cubes
Dash of sugar syrup (1 tbsp caster sugar, 200ml cold water)
Method:
To make the Watermelonade:
1. Blitz all the ingredients together in a blender with the ice cubes
2. Stir in the sugar syrup and add the Smirnoff vodka
To make the sugar syrup:
1. Place the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and add twice the amount of water (this should be twice the amount in volume, not weight ??? so if you have one cup of sugar, you would add two cups of water)
2. Heat over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid has thickened and started to brown slightly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool
