Let’s make Watermelon Punch!
Watermelon Punch Ingredients:
- Large California Watermelon
- 2 liter of 7up
- 3 cups of fresh California raspberries
- (Vodka or rum also works well here, but that’s up to you!)
Fill a blender with scooped or chunked watermelon and 1 cup of raspberries.
Puree the fruit until well blended.
Add enough 7up to fill the blender halfway and mix again. Pour into your container and chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving. When ready to serve, you’ll add another 2-3 cups of 7up and give the watermelon punch a stir.
