Watermelon Breeze

When this drink popped up on my Pinterest feed a few days ago, I wanted to make it immediately. It sounded like the quintessential summer drink and it turned out to to be the perfect way to rehydrate after a particularly trying day of fasting.

I scooped out some melon balls the night before and put them in the freezer to use along with regular ice.
