Now this cocktail is not only easy to make, but it is good.
This is refreshing and just the perfect party drink in summer. It really is a festive Christmas cocktail.
The watermelon puree can be made up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. You can replace the grenadine with a good quality raspberry cordial, if preferred.
Now I have given you two methods to make it, with pulp or without pulp. If you make it without pulp the colour of the cocktail will look like the bottom of the cocktail above. I actually make it with pulp, as you can't even taste the pulp and I don't mind the frothy part as it still tastes good and it means it's faster to make. You decide what you prefer.
You can also double the recipe and just make it in a large jug for parties.
This is a fun, simple Christmas party drink, perfect on a hot summers day.
