Watermelon Sensation Libation

What a delicious way to use up some of that summer supply of watermelon! this recipe uses a simple syrup ( recipe follows). cook time reflects time to chill watermelon in freezer. i found this on the food network. The name has been changed to protect the innocent ;) as well as some of the ingredients to suit my personal preferences. this drink is also very good with light rum or coconut rum to replace the vodka! i haven't tested it with lemon flavored vodka, yet, but i imagine that would also be good.
