1. Begin by preparing the watermelon. Cut the watermelon into small cubes, discarding any seeds and removing the rind.

2. Place the watermelon cubes in a large bowl or container, and use a potato masher or fork to mash the fruit until it becomes a pulpy consistency.

3. In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved completely to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

4. Once the simple syrup has cooled, add it to the mashed watermelon in the bowl. Stir to combine.

5. Pour the grain alcohol into the watermelon mixture, stirring gently to incorporate.

6. Add the lemon juice to the mixture and stir again.

7. Transfer the watermelon moonshine mixture into clean mason jars or other airtight containers, leaving some space at the top to allow for expansion.

8. Seal the jars tightly and store them in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks to allow the flavors to infuse.

9. After two weeks, give the jars a gentle shake to mix the contents.

10. To serve, strain the watermelon moonshine through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp or solids. Discard the solids.

11. Serve the strained watermelon moonshine chilled or over ice and enjoy responsibly!

 You can adjust the sweetness of the watermelon moonshine by adding more or less sugar according to your taste preferences.

 For a stronger moonshine, you can increase the amount of grain alcohol used in the recipe. Just be sure to drink responsibly and in moderation.

 Store the watermelon moonshine in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve its flavour and potency.

 Get creative with serving options by garnishing the watermelon moonshine with fresh watermelon slices, mint leaves, or a splash of sparkling water for a bubbly twist.
