You’ll be the only one who knows that it’s super easy to pull this Watermelon Punch Recipe together.
Wash your watermelon.
Then, scooping out the flesh of the watermelon takes no time at all, and kids think it’s fun to help! So get them involved!
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 its own. Scoop out the watermelon flesh.
Place watermelon flesh in an electric blender; process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer; discard solids.
After you blend the watermelon flesh in the blender, it tends to get a little foamy, but don’t worry, most of the foam gets trapped when you strain it.
Now, return watermelon to the blender. Add lemonade concentrate and pineapple juice and blend well. You can add simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter punch.
Tip: traditional simple syrup is made from one part water to one part sugar (1:1). White granulated sugar is usually used. To make, combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool fully before using it.
Transfer mixture to the watermelon serving bowl.
You could certainly make this an adult-only beverage by adding alcohol. Follow the recipe, but add 3 cups of vodka or however much you prefer to serve it with.
That should do the trick!
Tip: if using alcohol, make sure you label the punch as such, so kids know it’s not for them.
