Looking for a recipe for drinks with alcohol to take to a pool party. Needs to be something I can make for many people.

here's one for a watermelon cocktail. the original recipe called for brown sugar, but i substituted strawberries instead.

one medium size watermelon, chopped
a handful of strawberries
lemon juice
mint

squeeze desired lemon juice into large pitcher; throw in the mint and muddle. blend strawberries and melon in batches to desired thickness. pour the puree in with the lemon juice and mint. it keeps for a couple of days. add vodka right before serving.

been enjoying this all summer. very refreshing.

Wow, that sounds lovely!

I'll try it this weekend. Thanks. It sounds yummy.

it is lovely, especially if you use SEEDLESS watermelon, which i forgot to mention in my previous post. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
