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.
