A slice of ripe watermelon cannot be improved upon—unless you add a sprinkle of salt. This juicy pitcher drink goes one step further, adding a little heat in the salt mix on the rim of each glass. Lemon and just a touch of bitter Campari balance the ripe summer sweetness of watermelon juice and strawberry preserves here. This fruity cooler is ready for your next cookout or pool party; if you’ve invited a crowd and you want to double the recipe, you’ll likely need to make it in two batches to not overfill your blender.
