The Recipe
6 cups watermelon juice
3/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tsp nubeleaf’s Lime Juice powder
6 1/2 oz simple syrup
1 1/2 cups tequila
1/8 cup cointreau
Directions:
Cut a whole watermelon into chunks with the rind removed.
Add the watermelon chunks into a blender and blend until liquid.
Drape a cheesecloth over a strainer with a bowl below and pour the watermelon juice onto the cheesecloth. The bowl below will catch just the juice, leaving any thickness behind to throw away.
Pour watermelon juice into a punch bowl.
Make a simple syrup by adding 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water into a sauce pan and simmer until the sugar is melted, let it cool.
Add in the rest of the ingredients (recipe below) and stir.
Slice half of a watermelon in slices to garnish the punch.
Add the ice and watermelon slices right before serving.
Serve with a ladle and enjoy!
