Labor Day 2014: Watermelon Punch Recipe

Take advantage of ripe watermelon this summer and make some delicious and refreshing Watermelon Punch! This easy-to-make drink is perfect for your Labor Day BBQ. In addition to being a very affordable beverage to serve, the punch just looks so pretty in the punch bowl.

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:

• 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. You’ll have to do this in several batches. 
• Add pineapple juice and sparkling water to the “bowl” and pour in your strained watermelon juice. 
• Mix together and chill the punch and bowl in the fridge for about an hour or until ready to serve. 
• Enjoy

Cheers!
