NOTES : If there's no room in your refrigerator to store the 20 pounds of watermelon left over from your Fourth of July bash, don't fret.

Make margaritas. For a make-ahead tip, you can freeze the diced watermelon up to two weeks before serving. Place diced watermelon on a cookie sheet in the freezer for six hours or overnight. Store frozen cubes in a zip-top freezer bag until ready to use.
