Ingredients
-
25 oz. Patrón Silver
-
4 cups Watermelon Juice
-
1 cup Fresh Lime Juice
-
1 cup Simple Syrup
-
0.5 tsp. Salt
-
Watermelon Slice, for garnish
Directions
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
