Ingredients:

• 8 c. cubed seedless watermelon, divided
• 1 c. water, divided
• 1/4 c. lime juice
• 1/4 c. light agave nectar
• 3 c. Hy-Vee lemon-lime soda
• Watermelon slices, for garnish

All you do

1. Puree half the watermelon and half the water in a blender or a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2- to 3-quart freezer container. Repeat with remaining watermelon and water. Stir in lime juice and agave nectar. Cover and freeze at least 8 hours.
2. Two hours before serving, remove from freezer and set out at room temperature.
3. To serve, use a large fork to scrape partially thawed mixture into shaved ice. Spoon about 1 cup shaved watermelon ice into each of six 12-ounce glasses, filling each about 2/3 full. Slowly pour 1/2 cup soda into each glass, stirring to mix. If desired, garnish with watermelon slices.
