ResetHow to Make
Serves 8-10
- Lay a (preferably seedless) watermelon on its side and assess which end would be a better base if you were to stand it on its end. Using a chef’s knife, slice off a small bit of the rounded end to create a flat surface, being careful not to cut through to the flesh.
- Slice off the opposite end to create a “lid”, and stand the watermelon upright.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, hollow out the watermelon, being sure to save the flesh and any juices.
- Transfer flesh to a blender and puree lightly, enough to liquefy the mixture.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp.
- Combine Patrón Silver, watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup and salt and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Return contents to the watermelon for service and add ice to chill.
- Use a “watermelon tap” if you have such a device or use the watermelon as a punch bowl, ladling out the punch. Alternately, you can skip the watermelon bowl altogether and use a punch bowl of your choosing.
