Sparkling Watermelon Punch
Ingredients
- 1 span watermelon
- 6 mint leaves
- 4 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces lime juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- Sparkling wine
- lime wheels
- mint sprig
Method
With a large spoon or ice cream scoop, carve out the inside of half a mini watermelon and set aside. Add the watermelon chunks and mint leaves to a blender and puree until smooth. Fine-strain the puree into a container, discarding the solids. (Will produce about 1 cup of juice.) In the carved watermelon half, add cubed ice, vodka, lime juice, simple syrup and 5 ounces of the watermelon-mint juice. Top with the sparkling wine. Garnish with lime wheels and a mint sprig.
