Watermelon punch

Hiccup!
Oh my G-D (hic), I made the most amazing cocktail tonight.! That was before the three bottles of wine (between six) with dinner. Yikes.

I pureed fresh sweet seedless watermelon (Paul's), some Limeade, vodka, and club soda for the most delicious cocktail on the planet. Dangerous, but delicious. It was so tasty that you forget that there is alcohol! Be careful.

It went well with the Red snapper Ceviche, and the scallops with marmalade, and radish, cuc, and bibb salad, and the crab cakes with Avocado mousse!, but we also started a Rose, a chard, and a pinot, that well with the Flat Iron steak, and Mahi Mahi, (they were out of Halibut), etc.

I hope everyone had a delicious Fourth! I know that there are those who did not, and they have a special place....

Sounds like YOU know how to celebrate!

Could you elaborate on the recipe for this concoction? I am thinking of making some and would like to know the right mix. Sounds yummy - especially on a hot summer day.

Speaking of watermelon juice...There is an excellent Caribbean eatery albeit in Hawaii Kai, Oahu that actually has Fresh Watermelon Juice on it's beverage menu...The owner has such a love and fascination with Jamaican culture that she actually leaves Hawaii at least once a year to visit Jamaica and it's local people...O' Well, if you're gonna leave paradise for a couple of weeks might as well go to another island paradise...Her Cha Cha Cha Salsaria interior actually has the look and feel of a Jerk Chicken stand...complete with tin roof, reggae music, and a large glass container of the chilled fresh watermelon juice that she keeps on the counter...Smart move because we tend to eat and drink with our eyes... Ono stuff, that watermelon juice...and O' yeah...The Fresh Fish & Veggies burritos or the Jerk Chicken burritos are pretty good too...

Thanks again Heather. Now if I can just get to the market to get all the ingredients! This is my last week at work so I am planning on throwing a batch of this punch together to celebrate Friday evening.

Oh come on Heather! Don't keep this a secret, I would like the recipe too!
