  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Watermelon slices (optional), for garnish

Had a ladies luncheon and these were a hit! I did add some ice. After a little while the watermelon separates in the glass so second batch :) I added red food coloring and that solved the problem. I made green sugar by adding some green food coloring to sugar in a container and shaking well. I dipped the rim of the glass in a shallow bowl of lime juice and then in the sugar. Pretty!
