INGREDIENTS
½ very ripe watermelon, well chilled
50ml gin
sprigs of fresh mint and watermelon triangles,
to garnish
METHOD
Cut the watermelon in half and remove the rind and seeds. Whizz the flesh in a food processor. If the mixture is too thick, add water.
Pour into a jug/pitcher, stir in the gin and serve in small glasses with plenty of crushed ice, a sprig of mint and a melon triangle.
Mix It Up
Cantaloupe melon can be used in place of watermelon – due to its firmer texture whizz for slightly longer in the food processor. Lovely with a dash of elderflower liqueur.
