Fresh watermelon is a fruit salad essential. But, for the slightly less virtuous, works just as well in a cooling cocktail. Like this Watermelon and Lime Punch that balances bright watermelon notes and OJ that provide a fruity sweetness, with a sharp citrusy tartness from the lime. Refreshing and perfectly balanced, it’s the adults-only version of an icey cold juice!
