This weekend, we camped in a 102° desert. Anyway, I had a few fruits, veggies and ice to use up & several thirsty campers by the end of the week. This was the result. Some added alcohol & some went virgin. Either way, it was not only appreciated, but was even requested after we arrived home today. This really is a crisp, refreshing drink!

Throw everything in a large blender and mix. That's it. Serve drinks immediately. Garnish as desired. Pictured drinks are garnished with fresh mint, whole strawberries, cucumbers slices, melon wedges and melon shavings. Add alcohol if desired. Rum, Vodka & Chardonnay each work quite well in this drink. [as per my guests anyway. ;0)] Enjoy!

Tip: Add a couple drops of red food coloring and blend if you'd like a more vibrant colored drink!
