What You Need:
A 4 pound seedless watermelon
2 cups of tequila or rum
1 cup of triple sec
Lemon-lime soda

 

What to Do:
STEP 1) Using a knife, Cut off part of the stem end of the watermelon, (just enough so that it sits flat.) Cut the top part off the watermelon, about 3 inches down. Scoop out half of the watermelon with a melon baller or small ice cream scoop and set aside.

 
STEP 2) Scoop out the remaining watermelon, leaving the rind-bowl. This will be your punch bowl. Transfer the scooped out melon (not the melon balls) to a blender and puree; this may be done in batches. Push watermelon puree through a strainer to remove the pulp and any seeds. Return watermelon water to the watermelon punch bowl. Stir in the tequila or rum, triple sec, and the melon balls. Pour in the lemon-lime soda. Serve cold over ice.

 
STEP 3) Sip & Enjoy!
