Method

step 1

Chop the top off the watermelon, about 3 inches down, so you have a wide circle on the top. Set the lid aside, then scoop out the flesh of the watermelon and put in a food processor. Blitz until smooth then sieve back into the shell, or a jug. Discard the pulp and pips. If you don’t have a food processor you can put the watermelon flesh in a bowl and blitz using a hand blender, then strain into the shell or a jug.
step 2

Stir the vodka and lemonade into the watermelon juice, then add the juice of 2 limes and taste. If it needs more sourness to balance the sweetness, add more lime juice and stir well.
step 3

Chop the lid of the watermelon in half along the length, then slice each half into triangles. Make a cut in the flesh side of each triangle and use to decorate the rims of glasses for the punch to be ladled into. Serve over ice.
