This recipe combines several of the favorite flavors of summer: watermelon, fresh lemonade, rum, and blackberries. If the melon yields a lot of juice, you won’t need to add water.

What to buy: Blackberry liqueur, such as Marie Brizard.

Game plan: The watermelon lemonade can be made up to 8 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

  • Cut the watermelon into 2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a colander set inside a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar. Stir the watermelon for a minute to extract the juice. You will get anywhere from 1 to 3 cups of juice, depending on ripeness.
  • Pour the rum, blackberry liqueur, lemon juice, and watermelon juice in a large pitcher. Add 1 cup of the syrup and stir well. Taste the lemonade and add more syrup or water to taste. Pour over ice in an iced tea or cooler glass, garnish with a few blackberries and a mint leaf, and serve.
