Frozen watermelon cava aperol cocktail

What goes in

• 1 small whole watermelon (about 2 kg)
• 500 ml cava (or other dry sparkling wine)
• 100 ml Aperol
• 1 lemon, halved

How to do it

1. 01

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

2. 02

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

3. 03

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

4. 04

   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. 05

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

6. 06

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