Frequently Asked Questions
How sweet should this be, and when do I adjust the sugar and lime?
Both are intentionally given as ranges: 4 to 6 tsp caster sugar and 30 to 50 ml lime juice (or the juice of half a lime). Taste after blending and adjust based on how sweet your watermelon is. A very ripe, naturally sweet melon needs less sugar and possibly a touch more lime to keep it lively.
How many glasses does this make?
Blending 2 cups of watermelon chunks with 100 ml white rum, lime juice, sugar, and 2 large handfuls of ice gives you 2 large serves or 4 martini glasses. Scale straight up if you are making it for a crowd.
