Like ladypit I used some watermelon frozen from the summer as well as splenda and let the beverage sit in the icebox overnight. Did not have filtered water but used spring water, a close second. I added a squeeze of lime to mine and it made a vast difference making this go from very good to just delicious. The addition of the citrus heightened the fruity flavor and the acidity balanced the sweetness. 
Thanks Bev.

This is so refreshing and a good way to get the benefits of fruit. I'm not a big drinker of plain water, but this recipe helps me get plenty of fluids. It's really good with strawberries and limes also. Good any time of the year.

This is a great thirst quencher! I made it y'day evening and it was in the refrigerator right from 7pm yday till this afternoon(1:30pm). We had 6 people come over, and in the summer heat that we have in plenty here, this cooler was just wonderful! They loved it and kept asking for more I did add a little more sugar than what the recipe calls for, say about 2-3 tbsps. more.
This is a great drink to have at this time of the year, THANKS for sharing it
