Watermelon sippers fresh from the vine.

Dice the watermelon into cubes and place them in a food processor. Process until smooth. Pass through a fine mesh sieve and discard solids. Place a few ice cubes in a collins glass, add the Aperol, watermelon juice, and lime juice. Top with a splash of club soda or prosecco. Garnish with a slice of watermelon, and serve.

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake, then strain into a salt-rimmed rocks glass with fresh ice and garnish with a watermelon wedge.

*Combine 2 cups of diced watermelon and 1.5 cups of simple syrup in a blender and blend on high until smooth and then strain.
