Summer is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the warm weather than with a refreshing cocktail? If you’re looking for a tasty and easy-to-make drink, then the 5-Ingredient Watermelon Rum Punch is the perfect choice.
This cocktail is made with fresh watermelon, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and sparkling water. It’s a simple recipe that requires only a few ingredients, making it a great option for those who want to whip up a quick and delicious drink.
— Ingredients Needed :
1 large seedless watermelon
750 ml passion fruit rum (1 bottle)
2 1/2 cups orange-pineapple juice
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
— Directions :
Step 1:
Set the flat side of a watermelon on a cutting board. Jiggle the melon to see if it will stay level.
Step 2:
If not, slice a thin layer of rind off the bottom to make a flat surface.
Step 3:
Then cut a large oval opening in the top of the watermelon.
Step 4:
Use a large metal spoon to scoop the flesh out of the watermelon, creating a punch bowl. Set the fruit chunks in a large bowl to collect the juices.
Step 5:
Working in two batches, place half the watermelon flesh into the blender. Add half of the rum, juices and sugar.
Step 6:
Puree until smooth. Pour the punch into the watermelon bowl and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Step 7:
Chill the punch until ready to serve. (Depending on the size of watermelon you may have extra in the blender pitcher for refilling the punch bowl.)
— Notes and Variations:
- To make the simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool before using.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking.
- For a non-alcoholic version of this cocktail, simply omit the rum and add more sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
- You can also experiment with different types of rum or add in other fruits such as strawberries or raspberries.
