Step 1

To make simple syrup, simply combine 1 c water and 1 c granulated sugar in a pot and bring to a summer until all sugar has dissolved.

Step 2

Place in a container and chill in the fridge. This will last two to three weeks.

Step 3

Place about 1 c chopped watermelon in a blender. I found it necessary to carefully press it down with a wooden spoon, so all the chunks were touching the cutting blade. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

I also grabbed a sprig of fresh rosemary from the garden, took off a few needles, and broke them up by hand. I’m thinking it was about 1/4 tsp or so.

Step 5

In a glass, combine all ingredients, stir, garnish with small slices of watermelon and lemon, and enjoy!
