Eat it freshly cut, in a salad, frozen or in a cocktail - the humble watermelon is the perfect summer fruit.
Here's a few ideas to get you started.
Chill it, cut into cubes or sticks, add cream or icecream and you have the perfect dessert.
Makes 6 drinks
1.3kg watermelon cut into small pieces
A few watermelon triangles to garnish
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup triple sec
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
In a blender puree the watermelon.
Strain the puree and discard the solids.
Stir in the vodka, triple sec and lime juice and pour into long stemmed glasses over ice.
Garnish with a melon triangle.
1/4 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp Cointreau
Chilled champagne
Seedless watermelon, cut into pieces
Spoon the sugar into a glass.
Add Cointreau and stir.
Top with the ice-cold champagne.
Float watermelon pieces on top of the champagne.
1 bottle of vodka
1 large seeded watermelon
Carefully cut a hole into the top of a watermelon.
Save this piece to use as a cork.
Scoop out a small amount of the melon.
Insert a funnel or stick the bottle directly into the melon.
Once the vodka has been absorbed, seal the melon with the cork.
Chill overnight, turning the melon occasionally.
Cut into pieces and serve.
Cheers!
Cheers!
