1. Puree the watermelon in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine sieve--you'll require 2 cups of watermelon juice. In a huge bowl or pitcher, mix the watermelon juice, lemon juice, sugar, shochu, & 4 cups water until the sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours & up to 6 hours.
2. When ready to serve, add more shochu to taste, if necessary. Serve in tall glasses filled with ice, garnished with a slice of lemon also a wedge of watermelon.
Ingredients
4 cups peeled, seeded, & cubed watermelon (from about 4-1/2 pounds unpeeled watermelon), and narrow wedges for garnish
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 or 5 lemons), and narrow lemon slices for garnish
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup shochu, chilled; more to taste
