buy any! I usually buy a 5lb watermelon to make enough for the two of us.

I think the frozen puree would be perfect. I usually smush mine in the food processor then add a little sugar and corn syrup, and a small bit of lemon or lime juice. It is somehow even more watermelon-y than the fresh fruit is. I think the pop of the acidic citrus turns the flavor up.
