TIP! The cocktail mixer is non-alcoholic and available from Dan Murphy’s. Or, replace with a good quality raspberry cordial such as Bickford’s and adjust the quantity to suit your taste. Chill all ingredients before you start. Recipe can be doubled or tripled, depending on the size of the drink dispenser.

Ingredients

2kg piece seedless watermelon

1 litre fresh cold-pressed apple juice

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

1 cup Master of Mixes Watermelon Daiquiri/Margarita Mixer

2 cups soda water

250g punnet fresh strawberries, hulled, sliced

4 cups ice cubes

1 cup small fresh mint leaves

Method

  1. Remove skin from watermelon. Chop flesh. Place watermelon into a blender in two batches. Blend on high speed until smooth. You will need 1.5 litres (6 cups) puree. Transfer to a large jug. Cover. Refrigerate. 

  2. Just before serving, pour watermelon puree, juices, cocktail mixer and soda water into a drink dispenser. Stir gently to combine. Add strawberries, ice and mint.
