Our Watermelon Punch is a delicious, refreshing addition to any cookout, BBQ, or get-together.
You could certainly make this an adult-only beverage by adding alcohol. Follow the recipe, but add vodka as desired.
If you wish, use the watermelon rind as a creative bowl! To make a watermelon serving bowl, cut the top of the watermelon off about 1/6 of the way down. Cut the bottom end enough to make sure the watermelon will stand on it’s own. Scoop out flesh.
Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher or punch bowl and serve over ice.
Note: To make watermelon juice, cut up one 10-pound oblong watermelon. Process small chunks of watermelon flesh, seeded, in a blender or food processor until chunks turn to liquid.
Make more than you need for this punch, freeze the extra in ice-cube trays, and use watermelon cubes to chill the punch.
(You can also use watermelon juice instead of water when preparing frozen lemonade or limeade.)
