SUMMERTIME WATERMELON PUNCH FOR A CROWD

Summertime Watermelon Punch for a Crowd image

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
