TIP! Watermelon puree can be made up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Replace grenadine with a good quality raspberry cordial, if preferred. For a sweeter drink, increase grenadine (or cordial) to 2 tablespoons.

½ cup orange-flavoured liqueur

1 tablespoon grenadine

2 teaspoons lime juice
