Watermelon Lime Fizz
I love watermelon in the summer, it is the perfect snack for a hot, sunny day. I was inspired to make my favourite summer snack into a cocktail. This sweet, fresh, pink hued champagne cocktail is not too alcoholic and great to serve at a barbie. It's best if you can chill the watermelon overnight.

- 900g watermelon

Made it more kid friendly. I changed the champagne/white wine to Sparkling White Grape Juice - 12 May 2010
Can you use sparkling water instead of alcohol? - 11 May 2010
Altered ingredient amounts. i actually didn't use sugar syrup b/c my watermelon was already quite sweet. however, i could see how if your watermelon wasn't very ripe or flavourful how it might need just a touch of syrup. - 21 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
