Ingredients
- 1/4 c. water
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 8 c. diced seedless watermelon (1 lb.)
- 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
- 1 3/4 c. blueberries
- 3/4 c. lightly packed fresh mint leaves
- 8 mint sprigs for garnish
- 1 1/4 c. silver tequila

Directions
- In small saucepan, bring water and sugar to simmer. Stir over moderate heat until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Let sugar syrup cool.
- In a blender, puree watermelon until smooth. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and strain watermelon juice, pressing gently on the solids to extract maximum juice. Discard pulp.
- In a large pitcher, combine sugar syrup with lime juice, blueberries and mint leaves. Using a wooden spoon, lightly muddle blueberries and mint. Add watermelon juice and tequila.
- Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
- Pour cocktail into tall ice-filled glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.
