Equipment

large knife (like a chef's knife)
cutting board
zester
juicer (for lime)
blender

Ingredients

2 cups watermelon seedless, roughly chopped or scooped
1 lime a teaspoon+ zest and 3 tablespoons juice
2 fresh lavender sprigs coarsely chopped, hard stems removed (about a teaspoon)
1 cup ice or more, if desired
4 oz rum or up to 8 oz, depending on how strong you want your drinks (optional; omit for a virgin daiquiri)

Garnish ideas

lime wedges
watermelon balls
lavender sprigs

Instructions

Place all the ingredients except rum in a blender. Blend on high until just blended.
Add the rum if using, and blend on low just to stir.
For mocktails, simply omit the rum.
Strain (or simply pour) into four glasses, garnish if desired, kick back, and enjoy! Serve out of the hollowed watermelon for extra fun.

Notes

More ice can be added for more of a blended drink. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be diluted a bit with more ice. On the plus side, your drink will be bigger!

Tips

Add more ice for more of a blended drink
Keep it non-alcoholic without the rum so everyone can enjoy it!
Make popsicles by simply pouring the blended ingredients into popsicle molds and freezing them for the next hot day!
