Watermelon Punch

Watermelon Cosmo Punch


INGREDIENTS:

• 1 large, whole, seedless watermelon (makes about 8-9 cups of watermelon juice)
• 750ml non-flavored vodka
• 1 lime
• ice

DIRECTIONS:

1. Slice the watermelon, and cube the red fruit (take out any stray, black seeds).  Set fruit in bowl.  Using a food processor, blender, or Nutribullet, puree the watermelon pieces in batches.  Use a mesh strainer to separate the juice.  Discard the foam and puree bits...you only want the juice!
2. In a large pitcher, combine watermelon juice, vodka, and lime juice.  Stir well.  Refrigerate for over an hour.  Serve cold and over ice.
