Watermelon Punch Recipe
Take advantage of ripe watermelon this summer and make some delicious and refreshing Watermelon Punch!
Ingredients
- 14 lb. seedless watermelon
- 1 and 1/2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 and 1/2 cups sparkling water
- melon balls and or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions
1
Cut about one third of your watermelon off the top and scoop out all the insides. Puree the pieces of watermelon in a blender or food processor and then strain the solid pieces (I strained over a large pitcher).
2
Repeat in several batches.
3
Add pineapple juice and sparkling water to the “bowl” and pour in your strained watermelon juice.
4
Mix together and chill the punch and bowl in the fridge for about an hour or until ready to serve.
My watermelon actually made more juice than expected so I saved it in a pitcher so I could make even more punch. My family loved this fun party drink. Make it an adult beverage by adding rum or even white wine. Enjoy 🙂
