ingredients

makes 4 drinks

  • 22 ounces (2.75 cups after pureeing) Watermelon, seeded

  • 1.5 ounces (about 3 tablespoons) Sugar, turbinado preferred

  • 2.2 ounces (about 4 1/2 tablespoons) Fresh Lemon or Lime Juice

  • 1 Tablespoon Thyme leaves or other herb such as basil or lemon balm

 

deviations & tips

  • For a boozy beverage, swap 4.5-6 oz of watermelon puree for gin, vodka or rum.

Blend all ingredients in a blender for 30-60 seconds or until completely smooth. Chill in the refrigerator until the mixture is cold, at least 45F. Using the Infizz’s funnel, pour mixture into the 1L bottle until you hit the minimum line. If you’re not hitting the minimum line, add a little water or watermelon juice. Do not go over minimum line! Press carbonation button 2-6 times per Breville’s instructions. Remove bottle from carbonator. Gradually slide the switch to the right to release the excess gas. Slide the switch back to the left if the bubbles rise too quickly and let rest for 15 minutes or until you can de-pressurize without the bubbles escaping. Serve with ice.
