WATERMELON PUNCH WITH LIMONCELLO SHOTS
Here's a summer twist on sake bombs. With the help of an immersion blender, watermelon gets turned into fresh juice -- the addition of vodka makes it into the ultimate adult cocktail. (No punch bowl required.)

Steps:
- Cut a thin slice off one long side of the watermelon so you can stand it securely on a cutting board. Trim off about the top one-sixth of the watermelon on the opposite long side. Transfer the watermelon to a baking dish or roasting pan (to catch the juice). Carefully press an immersion blender into the flesh of the watermelon and turn on low. Puree the flesh, being careful to keep the head of the immersion blender always immersed in the juice to avoid splattering. Remove and strain the juice.
- Pour 8 cups of the strained juice back into the watermelon, then pour the rest into an ice cube tray and freeze for serving. Mix the vodka and lime juice into the watermelon. Cover the watermelon with plastic wrap and chill until cold, about 2 hours.
- To make the kiwi shot glasses, trim off both rounded ends of the kiwis and carefully peel off the skin using a sharp paring knife. Cut each kiwi in half and carve out the seedy centers with the paring knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Transfer the watermelon to the table. Depending on the size of your melon, arrange 2 to 4 sets of chopsticks over the top in pairs about 1 inch apart. Arrange the kiwi shot glasses so that 2 kiwi halves are balanced on each pair of chopsticks. Pour the limoncello into the shot glasses, letting some extra pour over into the watermelon. Grab your friends and have everyone beat on the table around the watermelon until the kiwi shot glasses fall into the drink. Serve with the watermelon juice ice cubes.
SUMMERTIME WATERMELON PUNCH FOR A CROWD
I attended a patio party years ago where the hostess had a clever watermelon "bowl" with a scalloped edge and filled with this punch. It was the hit of the party, and she was kind enough to share the delicious punch recipe with me. -Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Steps:
- Cut a thin slice from the bottom of the watermelon rind (but not into the flesh) so the watermelon will sit upright. With a sharp knife, carve out a circle in the top of the watermelon to make a lid, as you would when carving a jack-o'-lantern.
- To prepare with an immersion blender: Set the watermelon in the sink (to avoid splashes). Remove the lid and insert an immersion blender into the flesh. Gently push and move the immersion blender down and around in the watermelon to puree the center. As more of the watermelon becomes pureed, move the blender to the sides to puree almost all of the flesh, leaving a thin wall of flesh lining the rind. Pour the pureed juice out of the watermelon; you should have between 6 and 7 cups.
- To prepare with a drill: Fasten one beater from an electric hand mixer to the tip of a drill and tighten the chuck. Set the watermelon in the sink (to avoid splashes) and push the beater into the flesh. Gently push and move the beater down and around in the watermelon to puree the center. As more of the watermelon becomes pureed, move the beater to the sides to puree almost all of the flesh, leaving a thin wall of flesh lining the rind. Pour the pureed juice out of the watermelon, and strain, discarding any pulp and seeds; you should have between 6 and 7 cups of strained juice.
- Insert a tap in the empty watermelon according to the package directions. Pour the watermelon juice, wine and vodka into the watermelon and top with the lid. Refrigerate until the watermelon and punch inside are well chilled, at least 2 hours.

TEQUILA-WATERMELON PUNCH
To make watermelon puree, put seedless chunks of watermelon in a blender and pulse, then push the puree through a mesh sieve to make it smoother. (Cutting a whole watermelon might make your kitchen look like a Gallagher set, so it's O.K. to use precut watermelon from a supermarket.)
