How to Hollow out a Watermelon for your Drink

  • With your knife, make a slice on the bottom to make a  flat surface so the watermelon can stand upright for your drink. (You may be able to skip this step if your watermelon already has a flat side and can stand up straight without rolling.)
  • Then make a slice on the opposite side to remove the top.
  • With your knife, make vertical slices in the shape of a plus sign and then all around the edges.
  • Using your ice cream scoop, scoop out as much watermelon as you can and put it in a bowl.
  • Using your scoop, carefully remove additional watermelon from the rind, leaving the rind so that you can see the white part of the melon.

How to Make a Watermelon Mint Margarita

  • After hollowing out your melon, place your watermelon, tequila, triple sec, ice, and the leaves from 2 mint sprigs into your blender. Pulse until blended.
  • Pour into your watermelon rind and / or a pitcher.
