How to Make Watermelon Fizz

Cube 4 cups of seedless watermelon and process in a food processor until completely smooth.
Strain the watermelon puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds and pulp.
Transfer the watermelon juice to a pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Divide ice cubes and one lime wedge into each of six glasses.
Pour 1/2 cup of chilled watermelon juice into each glass.
Add one shot (1.5 oz) of vodka to each glass.
Top each glass with approximately 1 oz of ginger beer.
**Optional:** For a pre-mixed version, combine all the chilled watermelon juice, vodka, and ginger beer in a pitcher. Stir gently and pour over ice in glasses.
