    I make a simple syrup which will make enough to keep the extras in the fridge for other things like adult cocktails, lemonade, and I have even used it to make citrus salad dressings.  I promise again, I will be adding those recipes shortly!  I will add, I keep the simple syrup in my fridge in a covered container.  I don't think it goes bad for a very long time but I will also say, once I make it - I generally use it up within two weeks.  I am very resourceful and I generally have a cocktail which will include the simple syrup a few nights that week!!  Just letting you know!

    This is a very simple recipe and not much work involved to prep the ingredients.  It really is just cutting about half watermelon and adding lemon, mint, and syrup.  Blend them and freeze for a bit. Once its frozen, I use a fork, spoon is fine too, especially if the kids are helping.  As you can see, I had my little helper Deirdre who was ready to have some of this watermelon mint granita with me!  Love this kid!!  We use martini glasses to serve this - the glasses are festive!  However, whatever you have is fine for serving.

    It's so refreshing - both Deirdre and the watermelon - haha!  I hope you all enjoy!
