Watermelon Punch
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 ⅙ of the way down. Cut the bottom end enough to make sure the watermelon will stand on it’s own. Scoop out flesh.
Ingredients
Instructions
Just combine all ingredients in a large jar or pitcher and serve chilled over crushed ice.
Note: To make watermelon juice, pick up one 10-pound oblong watermelon. Process small chunks of watermelon, with seeds removed, in a blender or food processor until they turn to liquid.
Make more than you need for this punch, freeze the extra in ice-cube trays, and use the watermelon cubes to chill the punch. (You can also use watermelon juice instead of water when preparing frozen lemonade or limeade.)

If you don't have a juicer, you can simply place chunks of watermelon (no seeds) in your blender and blend, it will make a thick juice. If you want it a little thinner, just let the pulp settle and pour off the top. Then you can add some strong lemonade and ice to the pulp and make a great slushie.
The recipe for Watermelon
The recipe for Watermelon Punch in the recipe section sounds wonderful. The recipe, however, calls for 6 cups watermelon juice. Immediately after this ingredient there is in parentheis the notation "see note." But there seems no note to be seen. Any suggestions?
