Very good! Next time will cut sugar and add a bit more water.

Don't know what I did wrong but this came out very thick and un-appetizing. Followed suggestions and made in batches. Just didn't do it for me.

This was good. I'm not a huge fan of watermelon but my boyfriend and his family are. We decided to strain this drink though - it made it a lot smoother and got rid of any extra watermelon seeds. I think this drink would have been too chunky if we hadn't strained it. Also - I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup a batch and it was still a bit sweet. Taste your berries and your watermelon before you decide on how much sugar to add - if they're sweet you might need much at all.

I had some watermelon left over and I was looking for a recipe to use. I found this one, and we love it! It is so good and smooth.

This is different...It was almost like a slushie. (I used ice rather than water) If I were to make this again, I would halve the sugar and either double the lemon juice or do a half cup of lemon and a half cup of lime juice. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, and I didn't really get much of the sour taste. The kids were underwhelmed by this.

Was good..my kids LOVED it.. I had to use crystal light lemonade cause its what I had on hand and I pretty much eyeballed it but you really can't go wrong with this.. You definitely want to serve it cold..freezing all the fruit would probably be good. Will spike it next time I make it for us grownups! Yum!!

I love the flavor. However, my blender is old and dull and I got a bunch of watermelon pulp floating at the top. Below it, though, was liquid gold! I also used frozen, sweetened strawberries and less than half the sugar the recipe called for.

This is amazing, for variation (like it needed any)- I threw in blueberries and raspberries.

How Yummy! I made it with 1/2 cup sugar and it was sweet enough for my sweet-toothed hubby. I'll be making this all summer long.

I was out of fresh strawberries, so I used a 10 oz container of frozen sweetened strawberries and cut the sugar in half. It tasted great, my daughter loved it. An excellent way to use up watermelon.

All my guests agreed that this was really good and refreshing. So easy too! I did use a little less sugar than it called for. I did it in two batches (my blender was not big enough for everything) and used a scant half a cup of sugar in each batch. Next time I will try going even less since it was very sweet. I will definitely be making this again.

Wow! Really good. I used 1/4 c lemon juice and 1/4 c lime juice, and only 1/2 c of sugar. My 3-year old (who won't eat fruit) loves it, and for the grownups it's pretty darn good with a shot of vodka!

This is SOOO good! I'm not sure what size blender you have, but I had to half this recipe for it to fit in mine :-) What a great fruit drink--I didn't even wait for any type of "special occasion" I just served it with dinner, but I'll be sure to make it for the next family get-together. My kiddo will eat watermelon every day and now that it's in season, I've got a great new way to use it before it goes bad. Thanks!! UPDATE: I finally got the chance to serve this at a family BBQ--this time made three blender-fulls (1-1/2 times the recipe) and it just about disappeared as dinner was being served up! Great complement to grilled burgers and macaroni salad. This is a summer "keeper".

This was fabulous! I had no idea you could get such a smooth taste from watermelon. I might add some lime juice next time for an added twist. I added less sugar and added a few drops of liquid stevia to cut some of the sugar. Came out great! Will be making all summer long.
