How Maurice does it

freezingmixing
  1. 1

    Before freezing, cut a small hole in the top of the watermelon where you will later pour in the drinks.

  2. 2

    Freeze the whole watermelon for about 8 hours, or until rock solid.

  3. 3

    Once frozen, pour the cava and Aperol into the hole, then squeeze in the juice of both lemon halves.

  4. 4

    Use a spoon to scrape the frozen watermelon flesh from the inner walls, mixing it with the liquids. This helps the melon melt from the inside out.

  5. 5

    Add a little extra cava if desired, and continue scraping until you have a slushy cocktail.

  6. 6

    Serve straight from the watermelon in glasses or enjoy it directly from the melon with a spoon.
