Some people look at a watermelon and all they see is ... watermelon. But summer’s superstar fruit has the potential to be so much more. This fun seasonal recipe turns the juicy orbs into a boozy punch for two, adding vodka, fresh mint and sparkling wine for a drink that looks as good as it tastes. Now that’s something we can raise our rinds to!

1 mini watermelon
6 mint leaves
4 ounces vodka
2 ounces fresh lime juice
1 ounce simple syrup
sparkling wine, to top
Garnish: lime wheels
Garnish: mint sprig

Serves 2.

With a large spoon or ice cream scoop, carve out the inside of half a mini watermelon and set aside.
Add the watermelon chunks and mint leaves to a blender and purée until smooth.
Fine-strain the purée to remove pulp and add the juice (about 1 cup) to a separate container.
In the carved watermelon half, add cubed ice, vodka, lime juice, simple syrup and 5 ounces watermelon juice.
Top with the sparkling wine.
Garnish with lime wheels and a mint sprig.
